The Maritime Lumber Bureau has assisted producers with standardized quality and marketing techniques. Our collective goal is to continue to supply the "consumers' products of preference" as we utilize the latest technology, continually improving our production techniques, recovery, and sustainability of our valued resource. Producing members are located in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and the State of Maine.

It is because the pace of change has accelerated that Winds of Change has been chosen as the theme for the 69th Annual Maritime Lumber Bureau Convention. The fact-packed program (featuring an array of experts from various perspectives) is designed to promote our growing determination to work together, regionally, nationally, and internationally, to promote wood as the "consumers product of preference," for both environmental considerations and other installation attributes, in traditional and non-traditional markets.

In today's competitive environment, our ability to develop cooperative approaches to the opportunities and challenges will be the cornerstone of our future success.
