The network meetings offer insight, information and networking opportunities that are incredibly focused and relevant. And my favourite part is the plant tours – they are fantastic!”
“The BWA has been an excellent source for us. We’ve learned things that we likely wouldn’t have picked up anywhere else, and the networking has been invaluable. The BWA has created a sense of “community” among Ontario woodworkers, and that’s a good thing for all of us.”
“We cut our sanding labour in half from knowledge we learned on Plant Tour Focus Groups with the BWA.”
“Through the BWA I have met and continue to meet like-minded wood industry people. It is a great network of people willing to help each other learn and improve our processes and shops.”
“The BWA helps connect woodworking industry businesses together to learn and grow from one another. We have gained valuable information and insight not only from the training sessions and plant tours but also from the new connections we’ve made. We highly recommend connecting to this community of humble and supportive people who’s mission is to help grow the industry as a whole.”
