Recognizing Brownfield Projects and Champions at the 25th Anniversary of the Brownie Awards
TORONTO, Nov. 21, 2024 /CNW/ - Brownfields will help solve urgent urban land and infrastructure needs, according to Toronto Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie, who provided opening remarks at the Brownie Awards on Monday evening.
The Brownie Awards is a national awards program presented annually through a partnership of the Canadian Brownfields Network (CBN) and Actual Media Inc., to recognize excellence in the remediation and revitalization of contaminated sites. This year, 300 attendees came together at the Delta Marriott to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Brownie Awards. Award nominations were received from across the country, featuring a variety of remarkable projects and industry leading project teams.
"Rethinking how our land can be used in new and innovative ways is the key to getting more housing built here, and in any city," said McKelvie. "I want to thank each and every one of you for being critical partners on these very important challenges. I look forward to learning more about the winners this evening and learning more about how we can continue to all work together for a sustainable future for our city and our country."
For the keynote address, The Daniels Corporation President and CEO Mitchell Cohen delivered a compelling presentation on the importance of innovative and inclusive city building. He also shared an exclusive first excerpt from his new book, "Rhythms of Change: Reflections on the Regent Park Revitalization."
