Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC)

The Canada Green Building Council is a not-for-profit, national organization that has been working since 2002 to advance green building and sustainable community development practices in Canada. Together with our membership of over 1600 industry organizations involved in designing, building and operating buildings, homes and communities, the Council has made excellent inroads toward achieving our mission of reducing the environmental impact of the built environment. Over the past decade, we have successfully advocated for green building policies with all levels of governments and the private sector across Canada. As a result of this advocacy and the hard work of our members, thousands of commercial and government buildings, schools, homes, community centres and historical structures have been retrofitted or newly constructed to green building standards. The Council also educated 20,000 green professionals to answer the demand for knowledge and jobs this new green marketplace created.
