Timeline update, June 2009:
The first new rating system to launch as part of the LEED Canada Initiative was LEED Canada for Homes, which debuted on March 3. The CaGBC will launch LEED Canada for Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance 2009 on August 3rd - details are available here. The update to LEED Canada for New Construction and Major Renovations is scheduled to launch in the last 2 months of 2009.

The LEED Canada Initiative is the CaGBC’s effort, in collaboration with the USGBC, to develop the next generation of the green building rating system.

LEED in Canada will feature streamlined elements including an integrated rating system, online user interface and third-party certification by international certification bodies. Through close alignment with the work of the USGBC, this program will contribute to a unified LEED system in North America and will provide better access to LEED and increase the ability to certify projects quicker and cheaper for new and existing buildings of all types.
