Kelly Marciniw wanted to bring her work in manufacturing closer to something she cared deeply about: sustainability. That brought her to wood.

Today, Kelly works with Zirnhelt Timber Frames, a general contractor and qualified Net Zero builder, and serves as  @BCWoodAssociation  ’s first woman chairperson.

BC Wood is an industry association representing BC’s value-added wood products sector, from furniture and cabinetry to engineered wood products, timber frame structures and prefabricated buildings.

Her work gives her a close look at what BC businesses can do with wood, and the jobs and economic benefits they bring to communities across the province.

In this reel, Kelly shares what drew her to the sector, why she’s proud to work in it, and where she sees opportunities to tackle challenges like housing and climate change.

Her advice for anyone considering a career in forestry? Whatever your skills or experience, there could be a place for you here.
