ABOUT THE AWARDS

Our mission

Established in 2018, these awards celebrate the dedication and skill of individuals and organizations that drive the industry forward. By recognizing best practices and continuous improvement, the GTTIA not only elevates the standards of the timber workforce but also promotes the industry’s positive impact on environmental sustainability and regional development.
