 
Welcome to the CaGBC Education Exchange. The CaGBC is inviting our members to work with us to continue building our portfolio of high quality Canadian education to support green building professionals in Canada.
With the green building market continuing to change and grow rapidly, the CaGBC needs to ensure that we stay at the forefront of the global green building movement, and provide the most diversified course offerings. In order to accomplish this, we are inviting our members to contribute educational content on a donation or profit-sharing basis.
Any courses that are contributed will gain exposure through recognition on the CaGBC website, within the course material, and are also included in the Education Newsletter that goes out to our membership.
Two ways to participate
Submission Requirements
What’s in it for you?
There are two options for participation:
1. Donation: In this option, courses are given to the CaGBC, and we then package and sell it as a part of our education offerings. As the CaGBC is a non-profit, this option allows us to reinvest any profit towards the acceleration of a green built environment, which could include upgrades to CaGBC software, hiring additional temporary staff, and additional research.
2. Profit-sharing: In this option, profits are shared either through a flat fee or shared revenue.
Please note: In both instances the course developers retain ownership and control of the course, unless otherwise agreed upon. Course materials, however, will be branded as CaGBC.
