    2 new mass-timber courses to start at BCIT

    Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 25 Jul, 2023 03:45 PM
    • 2 new mass-timber courses to start at BCIT

    Two new mass-timber courses are slated to begin in the fall at the British Columbia Institute of Technology.

    In addition, the province is providing 3.3-million-dollars to the school for the creation of a mass-timber training hub at B-C-I-T's Burnaby campus.

    The provincial government says once the hub is completed, all mass-timber training courses will be housed there.

    Trade Minister Jagrup Brar says partnering with B-C-I-T will help ensure B-C has enough workers with the right skills to construct buildings of the future with mass timber.

    Supporting mass-timber construction brings the Province closer to its goal of building a more sustainable, inclusive and innovative economy for people, businesses and communities throughout B.C.
