Conference Information
The Building Saskatchewan Green conference is an annual conference that is put on by the Saskatchewan Chapter of the Canada Green Building Council. It is Saskatchewan’s longest running and largest green building conference. Since the first conference in 2004, our speakers have been inspiring and educating green building professionals from across the province and beyond. Toda

y we share a far greater understanding of the issues of sustainability related to our current building practices; the focus now should be on action. One of the BSG hallmarks is the caliber of our presenters. Each year we work to assemble some of the best speakers from across the sector to provide the most up-to-date information on sustainability in new construction, existing buildings, homes, policy and technical issues. Canada Green Building Council
Established in 2002, the Canada Green Building Council has become the voice of Canada’s green building industry. It represents more than 2,200 national corporate members and some 12,600 individual members involved in the design, construction and operation of buildings. In addition, 8 regional chapters across Canada have several thousand members. CaGBC membership represents many groups involved in green building and consists of professional firms, retail, construction and products, real estate owners, managers and tenants, academia, research and policy, non-profit organizations and industry associations, utilities, and financial and support services firms. The CaGBC, although typically associated with the LEED rating system, is evolving in step with industry change through programs such as: GreenUP – Canada’s Building Performance Program; The Living Building Challenge – Beyond LEED; Smart Growth - Policies and Principles for Sustainable Communities; and an expanding list of educational offerings. Canada Green Building Council – Saskatchewan Chapter
The initial Build Saskatchewan Green conferences served to bring together local green building stakeholders and led to the establishment of the Saskatchewan Chapter of the Canada Green Building Council in 2006. Today the chapter is the hub of our local green building sector. Our green building professionals and firms influence the vast majority of Saskatchewan’s green building projects and are the driving force behind wider adoption of truly sustainable building practices.
