Facts about our Municipal Infrastructure and Ideas to make it Sustainable
This spring, there will be a series of presentations in cities across the country on the 2016 Canadian Infrastructure Report Card, organized by the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering.
In these one and half hour sessions, participants will learn about the process measuring the health of Canada’s infrastructure and provide some ideas for how we can engineer our infrastructure to make sure it can be sustained over the long term.
