2026 COFI convention
British Columbia’s forest sector is at a crossroads — facing tough challenges, but also leading the way in solutions that matter most to our province: housing, wildfire resilience, reconciliation, and sustainable economic growth.
At the 2026 COFI Convention, leaders from across industry, government, and Indigenous and community partners will come together to rebuild competitiveness and chart the future of a strong, sustainable forest sector.
The 2026 convention will take place April 8-10 and will be hosted in Vancouver, B.C. a the JW Marriot Parq.
