A cross-laminated timber (CLT) handbook has been launched at an industry event in Vancouver.

Pierre Lapointe, president and CEO of FPInnovations, presented British Columbia environment minister Pat Bell, and Michel Charron, liaison officer, Natural Resources Canada, with copies of the handbook at the Cross-Laminated Timber Symposium in Vancouver.

The symposium was held specifically for architects, designers and building engineers so they could learn how to incorporate cross-laminated timber in their building designs.
