The CaGBC works closely with a network of regional Chapters across Canada to extend the green building market transformation to diverse regions and communities throughout the country.

Our Chapters help deliver educational programming and play a key role in advancing the vision and mission of the CaGBC at the local level by engaging members and advocating their local government for greener buildings, cities and neighbourhoods.

Together, we can make every building greener.
