The Canadian Pulp and Paper Association was the national trade body for pulp and paper manufacturers, founded in 1913 and based in Montreal. It compiled industry tables on forests, pulp and paper. The 1955 publication said the industry accounted for practically a quarter of Canada’s export value.

It was the industry’s national voice on trade, research and policy, and later housed technical work and a research institute with McGill.

Why it mattered

It was the industry's national voice on trade, research and public policy. The 1955 publication said pulp and paper accounted for practically a quarter of Canada's export value. In 2001 it broadened to wood products as well as pulp and paper.

Now

On 1 February 2001 it was reconstituted as the Forest Products Association of Canada, covering wood as well as pulp and paper. FPAC is now in Ottawa.

Association (2001) · Now: Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC)
