CAGBC celebrates a new year for the Zero Carbon Steering Committee

Zero Carbon

Recently, CAGBC’s Zero Carbon Steering Committee (ZCSC) met to welcome returning and new members, and to thank departing members for their contributions. The ZCSC guides the industry’s carbon ambitions by directing the Zero Carbon Building (ZCB) program and standards. From day one, CAGBC’s ZCB program was developed based on extensive consultation with experts and stakeholders across the country. The volunteer committee continues this work.

Please join us in welcoming our new members joining the Committee. They include:


  • Wendy MacDonald (New Chair)
  • Ali Hoss
  • Elise Woestyn
  • Fin MacDonald
  • Jag Singh
  • Kim Rishel
  • Marc-Antoine Chenail
  • Pat Armstrong
  • Peter Whitred
  • Rob Cooney
  • Steve Montgomery

We also thank all members who are continuing in their current capacity as ZCSC members:

  • Ariel Feldman
  • Christian Cianfrone
  • Douglas Webber
  • Iain MacFadyen
  • Lisa Westerhoff
  • Matt Cable
  • Michael Pires
  • Taylor Graf

Last, but certainly not least, CAGBC sincerely thanks all former members who moved on from their Zero Carbon Steering Committee positions as of May 2023, including:

  • Ed Cullinan
  • Matt Tokarik
  • Maxime Boisclair
  • Morgan MacDonald
