The historic Sun Life Building in Montréal has received Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification under the Existing Building: Operations and Maintenance (EBOM) program.

The Association for Preservation Technology International (APT) is hosting its annual conference this fall in Québec City.

This year’s theme, Métissage, will reflect the history of the host city as well as the built environment and what is presented at the conference. APT promotes technologies used for conserving historical buildings and their surroundings. The event’s attendees will include architects, engineers, curators, and developers.

The Canadian Museum of History is honouring famed architect, Douglas Cardinal, by naming an event and meeting room after him.

This year marks not only the 25^th anniversary of the facility’s two adjoining buildings, but also the 80^th birthday of the facility’s designer.

Registration is now open for the 19^th Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) conference being held in Montréal this September.

The conference features various speakers including Habitat for Humanity Canada’s chief-operating office, Mark Rodgers, and The Conservation Fund’s president, Larry Selzer. Sessions will cover topics such as fostering sustainable communities, and growing certification through the value train.
