Summary

A Forum on Brownfield Redevelopment held in April 2006 provided an opportunity for over 100 participants to expand their knowledge of brownfield redevelopment challenges and opportunities. The one-day event included discussion of issues such as contaminants, site management, risk communication, and national and regional approaches to brownfield redevelopment. Presentations from the Forum are available for viewing or download below.

The forum was hosted by Nova Scotia Environment and Labour's Pollution Prevention Branch and the Competitiveness and Compliance Initiative (CCI).
