TORONTO — The Wood Manufacturing Council (WMC), a non-profit corporation dedicated to fostering the growth and competitiveness of Canada's advanced wood products manufacturing industry, is set to have a significant presence at the upcoming Woodworking Machinery & Supply Conference and Expo (WMS) 2025.
In addition to exhibiting at the event, which runs from November 12-14, 2025, at the Toronto Congress Centre, the WMC will play an important role as a partner on WMS Student Day and the WMS Live Conference.
The WMC's mission is to develop and implement human resources strategies that support the long-term success of the Canadian wood manufacturing sector. This includes a strong focus on attracting youth and under-represented populations to the trades, offering vital training and mentorship programs to help meet the evolving needs of both employees and employers.
WMS Student Day, scheduled for Friday, November 14, 2025, is a key initiative that teams the WMC and WMS. This dedicated day aims to immerse high school and post-secondary woodworking students in the cutting-edge technology, software, and materials that are shaping the modern woodworking industry. It also serves as a crucial platform to highlight the diverse and rewarding career paths available within the sector.
WMC and its President Audra Denny will have a strong participation in the WMS Live Conference, which offers free educational sessions during all three days of the show. WMC will present “Creating Inclusive Spaces for Women in Woodworking” on Wednesday, November 12, and “Exploring Career Pathways in Woodworking,” Friday, November 14.
