Fenestration Canada in consultation with you...

Initiated in Fall 2000, Fenestration Canada consulted with its member companies to develop a strategic action plan reflecting and addressing industry and association issues. Priority areas identified by the membership are:

Membership An organization is as strong as its membership base. Fenestration Canada represents all aspects of the fenestration industry, not only coast to coast but internationally as well. Membership includes manufacturers, all component suppliers, laboratories, agencies and industry consultants. Fenestration Canada provides a strong networking forum for the fenestration industry. Membership is a priority for Fenestration Canada and a concrete plan has been developed to recruit new members and add new dimension to our voice.

Communication Fenestration Canada is committed to keeping our members informed. Information gives competitive advantage. Fenestration Canada members are regularly informed about changes to standards and legislation, new technologies, ongoing research and new business opportunities in the domestic and global marketplace. Regular bulletins, newsletters, and the Fenestration Canada website enable Fenestration Canada members to access vital information for their business through a variety of preferred communication conduits.

Standards and Legislation Receiving the highest priority from our members, there was consensus that Fenestration Canada should remain actively involved in the standards and legislation writing and review process. Recognizing the importance of these activities, Fenestration Canada hired Jeff Baker of WestLab as the Fenestration Canada Technical Consultant to support its activities and members.

Harmonization This was also given high priority and was one of the deciding factors in hiring a Technical Consultant. Fenestration Canada will be proactively involved with CSA in the harmonization efforts with AAMA / WDMA and NFRC.

Influence and Leadership Fenestration Canada is the only national organization representing the fenestration industry in Canada. Business, government and consumers look to Fenestration Canada as the information source on our industry. Programs such as Sill to Sash and identifying key individuals in government and consumer groups are priorities for the Association.

Win-Door The foremost showcase for the fenestration industry is owned by Fenestration Canada. Recognizing the importance of this key and essential networking opportunity for all industry sectors, Fenestration Canada is working closely with our event manager Shields and Associates to ensure the continuity and success of North America's premier trade show.

Fenestration Canada, your strategic partner!
