Held in downtown Toronto, Steven Peck of GRHC acknowledges the advantages of internet based information sharing and learning:

Peck, GRP, founder and president, GRHC; chair, Green Infrastructure Ontario Coalition

The conference features 75 expert speakers, as well as tours, professional training courses, a Green Infrastructure Design Charrette, an Ecohealth Workshop on research methods and a networking reception and BBQ on the City of Toronto’s award-winning green roof at Nathan Phillips Square.
