Our collective impact grows as our membership grows stronger
The Wood Pellet Association of Canada (WPAC) is a member-driven industry voice that advances competitiveness, sustainability and safety for Canada’s wood pellet sector. We represent more than 50 producers and members with facilities across Canada, employing Canadians from coast to coast and transforming fibre—once considered waste—into responsible, renewable energy through pellets.
Through coordinated work on market access and advocacy, safety and technical leadership and sector credibility, WPAC helps ensure Canadian producers can compete and stay competitive in global and domestic markets.
A stronger membership enables greater investment in visibility and advocacy, leveraging government and partner contributions to maximize the value of every member dollar.
Membership is open to all Canadian producers, customers, suppliers, businesses, agencies, and individuals in the pellet industry who are interested in improving our industry.
By pooling our resources, we can work toward a strong, vibrant, and prosperous industry for our collective benefit.
