Unlocking opportunities beyond “dig and dump”

The Canadian Brownfields Network (CBN) is presenting the second part to its webinar, “Unlocking Opportunities: Beyond Dig and Dump Part 2.”

The CBN, a national network for brownfield practitioners and stakeholders, was created in response to recommendations in the National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy’s National Brownfield Redevelopment Strategy for Canada. The CBN was founded by the Ontario Centre for Environmental Technology Advancement (OCETA) and the Canadian Urban Institute (CUI).  It was federally incorporated in 2009 and now operates as an independent, autonomous not-for-profit national organization.

The CBN operates with a Board of Directors providing the framework and structure for daily operations. The CBN executives include members from the founding organizations. The vision of the CBN is that brownfield property reuse be the preferred solution by developers.

Webinar overview

Explore a vision for brownfield redevelopment where “dig and dump” is no longer the default. Traditionally, project timelines and constraints have made soil excavation and landfill disposal seem like the only viable option. Today’s presenters are here to challenge that paradigm, showcasing proven remediation and risk management approaches with real-world examples that check all the boxes: financial viability, scheduling efficiency, and sustainability. Add these practical methods to your toolbox and help make them as standard as “dig and dump.”
