This past weekend, we had the opportunity to join the celebration of a project that means a great deal to our community and to our industry.
The Golden Pedestrian Bridge turned 25 this year. At 46 metres across, it remains the longest freestanding timber frame bridge in Canada. What makes it special is not just the scale, 72,000 feet of Douglas fir and a superstructure weighing approximately 210,000 lbs, but the story behind it. In 2001, over 100 members of the Timber Framers Guild traveled from across Canada, the United States, and Europe to raise it together.
Canadian Timberframes was proud to be part of that effort. Twenty-five years later, the bridge still stands as a symbol of what this community and this industry can accomplish when it works together.
Happy 25th to a Golden landmark. 🌲
