Administrative history
The Canadian Plywood Association evolved from the Plywood Manufacturers Association of BC, which was founded in 1950 by five Canadian companies. The Association was a non-profit industry trade association which ceased operations in July 2014, but which represented and served the manufacturers of plywood, veneer and veneer composite products in Canada.
Custodial history
Scope and content
The fonds consists of prints and/or printing elements of motion picture films that were distributed by the Canadian Plywood Association (CPA) or its predecessors, the Council of Forest Industries of British Columbia (COFI) and the Plywood Manufacturers Association of British Columbia (PMA). Most of the films were produced between 1955 and 1989 for the COFI or the PMA by three BC companies: Canawest Film Productions, Kelly Duncan Productions, or Lew Parry Film Productions. The films deal with with the harvesting of trees, the manufacture of wood and wood products (including plywood, shakes, shingles, etc.), and the use of these products in the construction industry.
