Welcome to the Ontario Forest Industries Association, Home of CLA Grading and Inspection Website

We all want forest products that are sourced using sustainable forest management. Ontario's forest practices are governed by a world-class, platinum standard regulatory framework. Together, we are dedicated to tackling climate change and securing a viable future for Ontario's forest products sector. When you buy Ontario made forest products, your positive environmental choice is supporting over 200,000 Ontario working families.

The OFIA is home to CLA lumber grading and inspection.  The CLA, founded in 1907,  provides high quality and cost effective inspection services as well as meaningful and cost effective educational experiences.
