The CUI Brownie Awards program, sponsored by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, recognizes excellence in brownfields policy, sustainable development and urban design.

If you know of a brownfields-related project or program, we encourage you to send in a nomination for this year’s awards program. Find more information and application forms on our website at www.canadianbrownfields.ca

Fill out an “Intent to Nominate” form and return it by June 1, 2008. The CUI Brownie Awards Selection Committee, made up of representatives from key industry and professional organizations, will review your application. Finalists will be announced in early October, and winners will be presented at the CUI Brownie Awards ceremony and gala dinner at the Canadian Brownfields Conference in Toronto on October 23, 2008.

Hot Properties @Canadian Brownfields 2008 will be held at the Toronto Congress Centre, on Thursday October 23 and Friday October 24. As an additional bonus, we will be offering two specialized workshops before the conference, on Wednesday October 22, followed by an opening reception – a great opportunity to get a jump on networking opportunities and to meet with Storm Cunningham, author of ReWealth, and the head of the Revitalization Institute.
