The people who brought us LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification are bringing their trade show to Toronto.
The 10th anniversary of the
Greenbuild expo and conference runs Oct. 4-7 at the Metro Convention Centre. It's the first time the show has been held outside the United States.
"We focused on Toronto not only because it is a modern global hub for green building and development," says Jennifer Easton, a spokeswoman for the
U.S. Green Building Council, "but also because of our strong relationship with the
Canadian Green Building Council."
The show will feature exhibits from about 1,000 companies related to green building, as well as talks by Rt. Hon.
Kim Campbell,
Thomas Friedman and
Cokie Roberts. The opening plenary session will be entertained by Maroon 5.
