PLIB Members Gather in Osoyoos for 2026 Annual Meeting
Members of the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau from Canada, Europe, and the U.S. met at Spirit Ridge Resort in Osoyoos, British Columbia, during the last week of June for the PLIB Annual Meeting and semi‑annual Board session.
Before the meetings began, members toured the Mercer Mass Timber glulam facility in Okanagan Falls, gaining a firsthand look at this long‑established operation. During the business session, the membership elected the 2026–2027 Board of Directors and welcomed new directors Valentina Wolfrum (Rettenmeier) and Natalie Peace (Weyerhaeuser). Members also heard from Jackson Morrill, President of the American Wood Council (AWC), who provided an update on AWC initiatives on sustainability, building codes and regulations, and PLIB’s collaborative efforts.
Outside the meeting room, attendees enjoyed time together in the Okanagan Valley—golfing, visiting the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre, and touring Nk’Mip Cellars.
It was yet another successful and energizing gathering in our 123 year history, underscoring the strong cooperation and collaboration between our North American and European members and the shared commitment to advancing the organization’s mission and our great industry.
