In Canada, the use of timber in construction has been largely limited to low-value commodity products used in residential light-frame construction. There is a high demand for research to develop value-added applications for wood and their related products such as wood connection systems to: i) maximize the benefits from sustainably harvesting Canada's abundant forests in the mass timber market; ii) generally reduce the carbon footprint of buildings through the use of more sustainable materials; and iii) expand the use of the sustainable material wood beyond traditional residential construction and look into new markets such as tall wood buildings and the application of mass timber products.

在加拿大，木材在建筑中的使用主要限于住宅轻型框架建筑中使用的低价值商品产品。对木材及其相关产品（如木材连接系统）增值应用的研究需求很高，以便：i）在大规模木材市场上最大限度地从可持续采伐加拿大丰富的森林中获益; ii）通过使用更可持续的材料，普遍减少建筑物的碳足迹;以及iii）将可持续材料木材的使用范围扩大到传统住宅建筑之外，并开拓新的市场，如高层木建筑和大规模木材产品的应用。
