I don't know whether building codes here would allow for anything over 4-5 floors though.
IIRC, a pretty tall building was going up in Quebec City that was all wood-framed as well.
It would be neat if we could become innovators in high-rise wood construction. It would be a great value-added business to grow the forestry sector in New Brunswick.
