Cornwall - Feb. 18, 2011 - The City of Cornwall is partnering with Green Infrastructure Ontario Coalition to host a one-day living green infrastructure workshop.

Businesses, environmental groups, urban planners and community leaders from across eastern Ontario will be on hand for the event, which will serve to highlight the benefits of living green infrastructure.

Workshop officials also hope to provide delegates a better understanding of how green infrastructure can be put on both the local and provincial agenda.

During the workshop, city planning, parks and recreation manager Stephen Alexander will discuss a pair of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) projects in Cornwall, one of which is the new Benson Centre.

Other speakers include Steven Peck, founder and president of Green Roofs for Healthy Cities and Greg Livingstone, an architectural technologist at PBK.

There will also be breakout sessions to discuss gaps in policies and programs to create sustainable green infrastructure.

Registration for the workshop can be done through a link found on the City of Cornwall's website. The cost to attend is $95 per person. The workshop will be held at the Cornwall Civic Complex.
