Canadian Brownfields 2005 - Investing in Capital - Making It Happen
04/29/2005



Mark your calendars for Canadian Brownfields 2005, to be held in Ottawa at the famed Fairmont Chateau Laurier on October 13-14, 2005. We also welcome a new major sponsor this year, the Cement Association of Canada.

Taking advantage of the conference's first official visit to the nation's capital, Canadian Brownfields 2005 offers top speakers from the U.K. and the U.S. to give you first hand perspectives on how forthright national policy can be leveraged to transform the marketplace. Senior representatives from both the London-based British Urban Regeneration Agency (BURA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will bring specific advice and insight from two very different approaches to brownfields redevelopment. We will also build on our successful formula of cross-country legislative reviews from Victoria, B.C. to Halifax, N.S., illustrated by local case studies.

The pace of innovation in technological clean-up methods will also have its own slot in the program, as will the latest in finance, venture capital and risk management techniques.

We are still sifting through presentation ideas from members of the network, so if you have a topic that you want to pursue, contact Steven Rowe at deyrowe@sympatico.ca. We'll acknowledge your input right away.

A preliminary program will be available at www.CanadianBrownfieldsNetwork.ca and www.canurb.com shortly.
