• Building Capacity in Ontario's Municipalities - Brownfield Training Workshop (June 2006)
  Over the past month, the Province of Ontario has held two of three training workshops in London and Burlington for municipal staff and consultants involved with municipalities on their brownfield projects or brownfields planning. Participants gained practical insight into brownfield redevelopment activities in Ontario, networked with industry leaders and experts and participated in interactive "hands-on" scenarios. The London and Burlington workshops were very successful and informative, with the Kingston Training Workshop wrapping up June 28 & 29. Presentation materials will be posted on the CBN website shortly, so be sure to check back soon.
