Few places in North America rival the range of revitalization opportunities to be found in Montreal. As a leader in sustainability, the Province of Quebec has led the way in stimulating private, public and community interests to integrate knowledge and set demanding new standards for high quality reurbanization.

With the support of national and international players, Canadian Brownfields will engage urban development companies, technological leaders and community stakeholders.
