Canadian Program
Despite the similar environmental characteristics of forest harvesting and manufacturing facilities operated by NCASI Member Companies in Canada to those operated by our U.S. Members, the different land ownership pattern and regulatory platform create unique needs for science and data to help Canadian companies cost-effectively meet their environment and sustainability goals. NCASI’s Canadian Program is grounded in a research program to address the specific needs of our Canadian Member Companies, and it is undertaken by a staff team located in Montreal, QC that is well-versed in the nuances of operating on the Canadian landscape. Our Canadian research program also leverages the strength of our program in the U.S., as well as the expertise of our U.S. staff, to provide our Canadian Members with an unparalleled resource to help them meet regulatory requirements and address stakeholder needs. NCASI published resources are predominantly available in English, with French abstracts. The NCASI staff team is bilingual and can assist you in both languages.

Bien que les caractéristiques environnementales des activités d’exploitation forestière et des installations manufacturières exploitées par les entreprises membres canadiennes de NCASI soient similaires à celles de nos membres aux États-Unis, la structure différente de la propriété foncière et le cadre réglementaire créent des besoins uniques en matière de données et de recherche scientifique. Ces besoins visent à aider les entreprises canadiennes à atteindre leurs objectifs environnementaux et de durabilité de manière rentable. Le Programme canadien de NCASI repose sur un programme de recherche conçu pour répondre aux besoins spécifiques de nos entreprises membres canadiennes ; il est mené par une équipe située à Montréal (Québec), parfaitement au fait des nuances liées aux opérations dans le contexte canadien. Notre programme de recherche canadien tire également parti de la solidité de notre programme aux États-Unis, ainsi que de l’expertise de notre personnel américain, afin d’offrir à nos membres canadiens une ressource inégalée pour les aider à satisfaire aux exigences réglementaires et à répondre aux attentes des parties prenantes. Les ressources publiées par NCASI sont principalement disponibles en anglais, accompagnées de résumés en français. L’équipe de NCASI est bilingue et peut vous assister dans les deux langues.

Forestry
NCASI’s Canadian Forestry Program is focused on research oriented towards addressing the environmental aspects of forest management in Canada. Given the Crown land ownership context, much of NCASI’s research in this program area is publicly available and NCASI collaborates with the government and other stakeholders on a number of initiatives to enhance the application of this research to the forested landscape.
Individual research projects are designed in consultation with NCASI’s Canadian Forestry Program Committee and address the full array of issues that members manage associated with terrestrial- and aquatic-related environmental priorities and also incorporates research associated with approaches for landscape conservation planning as well as sustainable forest management certification.

Mill Environment
NCASI’s Canadian Mill Environment Program is focused on research oriented towards addressing environmental releases associated with the manufacture of forest products in Canada. Individual research projects are designed in consultation with NCASI’s Canadian Environment Program Committee and address the full array of issues that members manage associated with emissions to air, releases to water, and the management of chemicals.

Sustainability
NCASI’s Canadian Sustainability Program is focused on research oriented towards addressing the sustainability- and climate change-related priorities of forest harvesting and forest products manufacture in Canada. Individual research projects are designed in consultation with NCASI’s Canadian Environment Program Committee and address information needs associated with climate change & carbon; life cycle assessment; energy management; water sustainability; recycling & land use; beneficial use of residuals; and sustainability metrics and benchmarking.
Canadian Steering Committee and Program Committee Information
The NCASI Board of Governors appoints a Steering Committee in Canada. This committee is composed of Member Company senior personnel familiar with the environmental issues facing the forest products industry.
The Canadian Steering Committee meets several times annually to identify and prioritize the research projects undertaken by NCASI’s Technical Studies Program and to monitor progress toward achieving program results. Ad hoc committees and specialists convene as needed to provide expert advice in specific fields, such as forestry and health effects.
Committee Meetings
NCASI committees and subcommittees meet several times every year to direct NCASI’s Technical Studies Program. An agenda book is usually provided prior to these meetings. Click on the group name…
