WELCOME Welcome to InterSaw and BiomassExpo! SHAWN murphy Show Manager We are excited to have you join us for these cut-ting-edge industry events. InterSaw, the international sawmilling expo, offers a full spectrum of sawmilling equipment and technology, from influences in the log-yard through primary wood transformation breakdown to the final shipping of the product. The emerging biomass industry is a natural pairing and at Bio-massExpo, you’ll find the latest equipment avail-able in this field today. These shows are co-located with Canada Woodworking East – a new event for secondary woodworkers in Quebec and Eastern Canada – all under one roof at Olympic Stadium in beautiful Montréal. Not only is this city the home to the corporate headquarters of many of Quebec’s larg-est sawmills, but it’s also a diverse and bilingual metropolis, known as “Canada’s Cultural Capital.” We invite you to take part in the series of thought-provoking, educational seminar sessions that will be offered on location at the show. Many thanks to our presenters: FPInnovations; CRIQ; the Wood Pellet Association of Canada; AWMAC Quebec; The Wood Doctor’s Rx; and IEP Technol-ogies. We would also like to thank our sponsors: Co-mact; Söderhamn Eriksson; Distribution Cardinal; and Les Aciers JP; as well as our partners: Resolute Forest Products; J.D. Irving Limited; Opérations Forestières et de Scierie; Canadian Forest Indus-tries; and Canadian Biomass Magazine. We hope you enjoy the show!
