History

To create a better climate for their industry, millwork operators in the Vancouver area began the Mainland Millwork Association in the 1920s. In the early 60s, the Millwork Contractors Association (MCA) succeeded this group. By the late 60s, this organization expanded nationally as the Architectural Woodwork Manufacturers Association of Canada (AWMAC), with Chapters in several provinces.

In 1994, the BC Chapter changed its name from MCA to the Millwork Manufacturers Association of BC (MMABC). In 1997, it became the Architectural Manufacturers Association (AWMA). The last name change to Architectural Woodwork Manufacturers Association of Canada British Columbia Chapter (AWMAC BC) came in 2007.

Today, the goal of Architectural Woodwork Manufacturers Association of Canada British Columbia Chapter is to build a credible and prosperous woodwork industry in Canada by:

  • Promoting strong relationships and partnerships among industry members, suppliers, general and trade contractors, architects and architectural designers and owners;
  • Standardizing manufacturing and installation methods; and,
  • Supporting education and upgrading skills within the industry.
