We're thrilled to see our President, Al Douglas, serving as Chair of the Ontario Resource Centre for Climate Adaptation (ORCCA - CRACO) Steering Committee! His dedication to climate change adaptation will support ORCCA in its mission to increase climate resilience in the Great Lakes basin and throughout Ontario.

Mission accomplished! ✅   Our Low Carbon Training for Engineering Professionals has come to a close after two successful in-person sessions in Toronto and Ottawa. A HUGE shoutout to our four dedicated Climate Risk Institute course facilitators Samantha Page, MSc, Megan Gereghty, Brook Tessema, and Jazmin Vargas Najera for their tireless support and leadership throughout the project. Over the past five months they have facilitated the delivery of eight sessions supporting our fantastic course instructors Dan Dicaire, Kelsey Saunders, Catherine LeBlanc, and Thomas Davis with the upskilling of over 638 infrastructure practitioners resulting in over 10,000 training hours!!! Their expertise and commitment have been instrumental in empowering participants and driving forward the cause of low carbon building practices.     Special gratitude to the CAGBC | Canada Green Building Council for spearheading the Low Carbon Training Program and Engineers Canada for their invaluable collaboration and expertise in developing the course content. This course would not be possible without funding in part by the Government of Canada’s Sectoral Workforce Solutions Program. 🙏      Interesting in taking the course?
