Brownfields Toolbox Workshops

A key component of the Brownfields Redevelopment Toolbox is the knowledge and experience gained through participation at AR's Brownfields Knowledge Workshops. The Toolbox initially was launched with four workshops across Ontario during the fall of 2004 and winter 2005. The fabulous feedback and reception of these initial four workshops led AR to continue it's outreach and education efforts through additional workshops, conferences and seminars. If you are interested in arranging a workshop in your municipality, please contact us at info@aboutremediation.com.
Interested workshop host cities, funding partners and sponsors are welcomed.
