Canadian municipalities are at a pivotal moment in shaping how new homes and buildings are designed and constructed. The decisions made today will determine energy use, emissions, operating costs, and community wellbeing for decades. But what does the evidence tell us about the business case for building to higher performance standards? And are local markets ready? Join us for a special Building to Net-Zero Community of Practice and the launch of two new resources that answer these questions: Beyond Emissions: The Full Case for High Performance Buildings in Canadian Municipalities and its companion Financial Summary for Municipal Decision-Makers. Discover new findings from 16 Canadian municipalities across seven provinces and four dimensions, and how to make the case for high performance buildings in your community. This interactive Community of Practice session will be offered in English with the option of simultaneous translation.

The ICLEI Peer Network is a virtual space designed for local government staff to connect regularly on challenges and emerging trends in the climate and sustainability sector. It offers a platform for candid discussions, peer-to-peer exchanges, and shared problem-solving. Does this sound like something you could use? Municipal and Indigenous community staff can join this Canada-wide network for free.
