SFU City Lecture: Landmarks, not Landfills: Keeping Canadian Cities out of the Dumpster February 15, 2007

RSVP: CALL 604.291.5100

If we can reuse items as small as pop bottles, why not whole neighbourhoods? But that isn't what Canada does: almost 30 percent of landfill is "used construction material." Author and lawyer Marc Denhez explains how governments intentionally planned to cart cities away in dumpsters and how new policies can bring "sustainability" to the urban fabric instead. Speaker: Marc Denhez is a consultant, lawyer, and author. His books include the Heritage Strategy Planning Handbook and The Canadian Home. Co-sponsored by the Heritage Branch, Ministry of Tourism, Sport, and the Arts. (AIBC 1.5 NCLU; PIBC 1.5 LU)
