Advocate for green building and be a leader


CAGBC is a catalyst for action that leads to policies and programs supporting green building in Canada. Championing the issues that matter most to our members, we use our voice to lead conversations with all levels of government. 

This report explores the importance of investing in quality construction for multi-unit rental developments. Building these apartment buildings with sustainable features delivers significant benefits for Canadians: lower utility costs, cleaner air, and protection from extreme weather.

The Canada Green Building Council (CAGBC) welcomes today’s announcement advancing Made-in-Canada sustainable investment guidelines—a critical step to unlock private capital for green and 
resilient buildings. 


Canada faces two interconnected issues: a major housing shortage and the growing economic effects of transitioning the building sector towards high-performance standards and risk management, including a changing climate. Policy responses to one will directly influence outcomes for the other.
