CUI Brownie Awards

Recognizing Excellence in Brownfield Redevelopment

The Canadian Urban Institute's annual Brownie Awards program recognizes leadership, innovation and environmental sustainability in brownfields redevelopment across Canada. Working with key industry and professional organizations, the Canadian Urban Institute presents its awards at its annual Brownfields conference.

The Canadian Urban Institute endorses the efforts of the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy to remove barriers to brownfields redevelopment across Canada and is committed to promoting awareness and an improved understanding of opportunities to regenerate urban sites and neighbourhoods.

The CUI Brownie Awards program is supported financially by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation
