These events are monthly meetings for practitioners who want to learn about and discuss more in-depth any issues pertaining to the Living Building Challenge. Learn from peers, share your experiences and grow your understanding of green building practice in British Columbia. 

Join us as project teams for the Bateman Centre, CIRS, and Van Dusen Gardens projects continue to explore the Living Building Challenge.  This week’s session will focus on the prerequisites for sustainable sites and those items that create beauty in the built environment.  Please feel free to bring a Living Building project that you may be working on.  There will be a panel discussion from the three project teams presented at the first session will be followed by a question and answer session.  You can submit questions before the session by emailing the branch here.
