The Canadian Wood Preservation Association was founded on November 20, 1979 in Vancouver, B.C. The association was formed to provide a forum and focal point for all people interested in the various aspects of wood preservation, from the producer of pressure-treated poles to the building scientist concerned with decay in leaky buildings. All are dedicated to the conservation of Canada's greatest and most valuable naturally renewable resource, it's forest products. 1, record 2, English, - Canadian%20Wood%20Preservation%20Association
