Jarrett Hutchinson is the executive director of the Office of Mass Timber Implementation (OMTI) with the Province of British Columbia. He has been instrumental in advancing the use of mass timber in BC and across Canada.

Jarrett, who is based in Victoria, created the building code that allowed the 18-storey Brock Commons student residence at UBC, and more recently, developing BC's Mass Timber Action Plan, released in 2022. He is responsible for leading OMTI, established in 2020 to transform BC's mass timber sector.

Throughout his career, Jarrett has held leadership roles in the development, application, and enforcement of codes, standards, and built environment policies locally, provincially, nationally, and internationally.

As executive director, Jarrett is implementing the Mass Timber Action Plan (MTAP) in collaboration with industry stakeholders, local governments, and 15 provincial ministries. The MTAP is a bold, carbon-friendly, market transformation strategy dedicated to building up domestic supply and demand for mass timber.
