Leadership in Brownfield Renewal network

FCM’s Leadership in Brownfield Renewal (LiBRe) network links municipal staff from Canadian cities and communities of all sizes. Their municipalities have committed to remediating and redeveloping brownfield sites.

Whether you’re a novice or an expert, you can join the network and use our seven-step framework to move your municipality toward achieving its brownfield redevelopment goals. You’ll learn how to identify, navigate and reduce barriers to site redevelopment.
