In 2012, the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) will celebrate its 10th anniversary. Over the past ten years, the Council, its members, Chapters and supporters have made much progress on green building and sustainable community development. Knowing that buildings account for more than 40 per cent of total greenhouse gas emissions, CaGBC works to make Canada more sustainable.

Later this year, CaGBC will hold its national conference and expo in Toronto at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre from June 11‐13, 2012.  This year's conference will focus on going beyond greening buildings to greening communities.  To help support this goal of greener communities across Canada, CaGBC is looking for sponsors for the annual conference from leaders who want to be part of transforming the nation's buildings and communities.

As an organization, why would you consider sponsoring CaGBC’s National Conference & Expo 2012?  Beyond being the largest event of its kind each year in Canada with over 1,000 delegates, as a sponsor you will be:

• Fostering your customer and stakeholder loyalty by supporting the CaGBC’s drive to transform Canada with greener buildings and healthier communities.
• Increasing your organization’s brand awareness within the environmental community, the green building industry and with Canadians across the country.
• Demonstrating to the green marketplace and community that your organization is committed to a practical approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

The focus for 2012 is Beyond Buildings: The Green City. We can all agree that while the transformation of Canada’s buildings and communities is happening, it needs to occur on a larger scale and be based on a broader set of issues critical for a healthy environment and better quality of life for Canadians. Join the CaGBC in Toronto this June and demonstrate your leadership in building a more sustainable Canada.
