The fast track to smarter communities
Now in its 10th year, the Canadian Brownfields conference is Canada's national conference and trade show focusing on the redevelopment of under-utilized properties as a catalyst for sustainable, vibrant and liveable communities. The theme of this year's conference is particularly relevant to today's economic landscape, with a program geared towards critical issues of reinvestment and stimulation of the economy. The 2009 conference will feature workshops, tours, and three full days of networking in the Brownfields Marketplace. The conference will also feature the 9th annual CUI Brownie Awards, which recognizes excellence in brownfields redevelopment across Canada. WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

Canadian Brownfields is an interdisciplinary conference with special sessions targeted towards real-estate, legal and insurance professionals, municipal community planners, all levels of government, engineers and soil remediation specialists and environmental groups.
