In celebration of National Engineering Month, Seneca Environmental Association is hosting our annual symposium with the theme “The Living City: Designing Urban Resilience.”

As the climate of the Earth continues to change, we have seen the effects manifest in the form of disastrous floods, rising global temperatures, and extreme storms to name a few. In an effort to adapt to our changing climate, this event will shed light on the different ways in which living systems can be incorporated into city design and planning in order to ensure resilience of our urban environments in the face of climate change. Industry professionals from GreenBlue Urban, Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, Golder , and City of Toronto - Your Local Government will educate participants through presentations, a panel discussion, and a workshop.

This event is FREE! See the link in our event page for more information.
