General Admission

As our cities and towns age, the costs incurred by essential infrastructure are increasing. The cost of maintaining existing grey infrastructure (e.g., roads, bridges, civic buildings, water and sewer lines) is in the $100s of millions. Any new infrastructure required to service projected housing needs will drive those costs to over a $trillion. Given these are essential community services, they cannot be value engineered out. Kim Fowler is the Principal of<a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.sustainabilitymakescents.com/" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">&nbsp;Sustainability Makes Cents Consulting</a>, with over 35 years&rsquo; experience working with local governments across Canada. In this webinar, Kim will show how green infrastructure can save $millions in infrastructure costs, while also providing social and environmental benefits. She will explain the economic logic of investing into green roofs and other natural assets. Using case studies, she will paint a clear picture of how such investments can ward off crises, while also paying our debt forward to future generations.&nbsp;
