Description

Communities that can claim to be compact, vibrant and sustainable are well placed to meet today’s most pressing challenges, ranging from climate change to quality of life.  HOT PROPERTIES @ Canadian Brownfields 2008 highlights remediation projects across the country that are raising the bar for sustainable community design, investment in the public realm and stimulating neighbourhood renewal.  Innovations in technologies and policy approaches are building needed economic and cultural momentum in many communities.

Join experts from across Canada and around the world for Canada’s national conference on brownfields remediation, community revitalization and sustainable city building. Become inspired by innovative approaches to community revitalization, learn how to address the legal and financial challenges to development, and hear practical advice from the leading experts in the field.  Explore the “brownfields marketplace” to meet service providers, learn about new opportunities and network with representatives and delegates from across the country.  After an inspiring day of high-profile keynotes and case studies, enjoy the CUI Brownie Awards Gala Dinner, honouring the leading remediation developments and projects across the country.  If you know of an innovative remediation project or program, nominate it for a CUI Brownie award today

Although there will be plenty of technical information for beginner and advanced brownfielders alike,  HOT PROPERTIES will demonstrate that there’s a lot more to brownfields remediation than site remediation!
