It was a special celebration last night at the 25th Anniversary of the Brownie Awards, as a sold-out crowd of 300 environment industry colleagues came together at the Delta Marriott in the heart of downtown Toronto.
The Brownie Awards are presented in proud partnership with the Canadian Brownfields Network (CBN) and Actual Media Inc., parent company of Environment Journal. This year, in honour of the silver anniversary, the award categories were updated and a special edition 25th anniversary award was presented. Nominations were received from across the country from a variety of remarkable projects, large and small, urban and northern. But there’s one thing that all brownfield projects have in common. They all require a great amount of perseverance to overcome roadblocks, risks and financial challenges. However, the benefits of successful brownfield projects have been proven to be worth it — including the revitalization of communities, environmental and health improvements, and new revenue streams for municipalities.
