City of Quesnel to introduce a "Wood First Bylaw" on Monday

On Monday, Quesnel Council will consider a report from their City Manager to give 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Reading to their Wood First Bylaw. The bylaw contains clauses which include favourable consideration to those projects which demostrate a unique use to wood as the primary building material when the project is being financed by City of Quesnel tax dollars and use of local wood within a 75 km radius of Quesnel

I suspect that if Quesnel Council does pass this bylaw, jurisdictions like Prince George, Campbell River and even Williams Lake will seriously look at passing a similar Bylaw to work hand-in-hand with their passed Wood First Resolutions
