The Last Show…
Wednesday, November 13th, 2019
We just returned from Tucson, Arizona where we attended the EWTA Info Fair, the premier supplier exhibition for companies to connect with North America’s leading engineered product manufacturers. It was a great event where we reconnected with old colleagues and made new connections. This show is the last one that Brunette is attending in 2019 and we are busy planning for all the exciting trade events that are coming up in the New Year.
The first two shows are happening in February and both offer excellent opportunities for networking with colleagues and customers in the forestry, wood products and bioenergy industries.
The Indiana Hardwood Lumbermen’s Association Convention and Exposition (IHLA) is billed as the largest convention and trade shows of its kind in the Midwest. The Association’s 122nd annual event, showcasing new technologies and innovations in the hardwood market, will take place over three days — February 3-5, 2020 in Indianapolis, Indiana. Find out more here.
Running at the same time, is the 13th Annual International Biomass Conference and Expo in Nashville, Tennessee — the world’s premier educational and networking event for the biomass industry. Sponsored by BBI International, this show will feature “All Things Biomass” with an expected attendance of over 900 producers, partners and industry experts. Read more here.
Both events promise to be exciting and informative with the opportunity to meet with peers, receive timely information on important industry topics, catch up with old customers and develop new connections. They will bring exhibitors, industry professionals and attendees together to share with and learn from each other.
If you are attending either event, please stop by our booths and say hello!

COFI 2019 — Afterthoughts
Tuesday, April 9th, 2019
We spent three days last week at the 2019 COFI Convention where more than 600 delegates, speakers, exhibitors, and sponsors gathered in Vancouver to discuss all things forestry.
From the ice-breaker reception on Wednesday evening to the opening greeting from Deborah Baker of the Squamish Nation on Thursday, to the keynote address by British Columbia Premier John Horgan on Friday, we were engaged with networking, listening and talking about all aspects of the forest industry in BC and Canada.
The program featured professionals from across the industry, including federal and provincial deputies, indigenous leaders and CEOs of various forestry companies, speaking on subjects ranging from globalization to innovations in local markets.
The panel discussions shared ideas about relationship-building with First Nations, strategies for attracting youth to the industry and expanding our trade markets into Asia. Other important topics included Canada-US relations, softwood lumber, the economic outlook for BC and the future of British Columbia’s forest trade.
Premier John Horgan closed the conference with a discussion about effective ways the provincial government plans to work with the forestry sector and called upon all stakeholders including labour, First Nations and local communities to collaborate in developing a new vision for BC’s forest industry.
As our sales team said “This year’s COFI Convention did not disappoint. There was ample time to network with colleagues that we hadn’t seen in a while. The panels were interesting and informative with thought-provoking conversations from professionals about the uncertainties and opportunities ahead in our industry.”
Thanks to BC Council of Forest Industries (COFI) for presenting another outstanding annual conference.
See you in 2020!

Giving Back
Monday, December 24th, 2018
This year, our head office partnered with Murray Latta Progressive to hold a food drive for the Surrey Food Bank. For five weeks, we brought in non-perishable food items to fill the food bank boxes that we displayed in our front reception area.
Our creativity and sense of fun was evident in the kinds of items we brought to fit with a weekly theme. We started with things such as pancake mixes with syrup, and oatmeal along with canned fruit for our Breakfast Week and we ended with Dinner Week that included items for meals such as spaghetti dinners, macaroni and cheese, Chinese food fixings, cans of hearty stew and more. We finished up the drive with a Baby Week where we contributed baby/toddler items from diapers to formula.
Volunteers from the Surrey Food Bank arrived on Wednesday morning to pick up our contribution and we were surprised when an old friend and co-worker walked through the door to load up our boxes. Bill, who worked for Brunette for many years, now retired, burst into the office with a big grin and a boisterous voice — proclaiming his excitement at seeing his Brunette family again. What a thrill — a happy mini-reunion with a favoured workmate!
This was our first time holding an organized charity event in the office and we feel it was a great success! We hope to continue to hold such charitable efforts in the future. Not only did we help hungry people by filling sixteen boxes with nutritious food, but in doing so, we discovered a bonding, uplifting experience that showed a generosity of spirit that we all can be proud of.
Together we accomplished a lot and made a difference to vulnerable members of our community.
