Kimberley Green Building Conference

Due to a variety of factors that limited the ability of our target audience to attend, we have decided to postpone this year's event until November, 2013.

We hope to offer many of the same workshops, but as part of a one-day event in the first part of the month.

We welcome any feedback on how we can continue to improve this important regional event, the only of its kind in the Kootenays, and we hope to see you at the conference in November!

There is a definite interest in green building in the East Kootenay, as evidenced by the attendance and participation in the 2012 Green Building Conference at the Kimberley Conference and Athlete Training Centre.

Conference organizer Erna Jensen-Shill says it went very well, with good attendance, great speakers and networking.

"It went really well. And the one surprising thing I kept hearing was, there is nothing else like this. Maybe in Vancouver, but in mainland BC and Alberta, the Kimberley conference stands out. We had Calgary and Edmonton folks saying there is nothing like it. They were all so darned excited."

What's inspiring people, Jensen-Shill says is the opportunity to have engineers, designers, planners, builders and home owners all under one roof.

"They are asking questions, bending people's ears over a beer, seeing products in the showcases. There is just an awesome energy."
