Steven Street, Executive Director, WoodWorks Ontario
As Executive Director of WoodWorks Ontario, Steven leads a high-performing team dedicated to delivering strategic value and new opportunities to partners across the wood construction industry. With wood increasingly featured in high-profile projects, knowledge sharing and market acceptance are more critical than ever. The construction sector is undergoing a profound transformation—shifting from traditional site-built methods to industrialized, factory-built systems. At the same time, progressive building codes are expanding the materials, systems, and building types available for development. In this era of rapid change, Steven sees a pivotal opportunity to shape how we build. With sustainability targets and carbon reduction now central to design, he champions innovation that aligns environmental responsibility with architectural and industry advancement.
