The Canadian
Mill Services Association (CMSA)
is a member-supported, nonprofit organization that has provided
hands-on technical and education services to forest industry
producers in British Columbia, Canada, since 1994. Focusing
on core values of respect, knowledge, integrity and innovation,
CMSA
delivers cost-effective, market-driven services in technical
certification, inspection and testing, manufacturing process
audits, and training. CMSA members and clients benefit from
our internationally recognized expertise in grade stamping,
certification and technical training, which is critical to growth
and profitability in the competitive global markets of the 21st
century.
The
formation of
Canadian Mill Services Association
came about in early 1994 after in in-depth review and reorganization
of the Council of Forest Industries. At that time, the Lumber
Operations Department merged with the Pacific Lumber Inspection
Bureau to form an autonomous agency to provide a package of
services to include grade stamping, quality assurance, training
and education, plant health certification, JAS certification,
mill audits and other special programs on a fee for service
basis.

Financial Statement summary is available upon request.
