Retrofits and Buildings Forum
Join us in a dialogue on creating good green jobs in British Columbia. We’ll explore the fastest way to lower green house gases, while building thousands of new good-paying green jobs. Retrofits, deconstruction, and the green building sector present BC with an amazing opportunity to take action on climate change and build a strong local economy.
We will be sharing inspiring case studies in BC that demonstrate how local organizations and governments can take action. In addition we will look at cross-cutting themes such as financing, training and education, standards and certification, and policy opportunities.
Date: Friday, February 10, 2012
Time: 9:00am-4:30pm
Location: Coast Plaza Hotel, Vancouver
