Growing a Regional Building Materials Reuse Ecosystem: From Possibility to Practice
Workshop Session
What could a thriving building materials reuse ecosystem look like in the Bow Valley? Across Canada and beyond, communities are finding innovative ways to keep valuable building materials in circulation from deconstruction and salvage programs to reuse hubs, policy tools, and markets for reclaimed materials.
This interactive session will explore successful models from elsewhere alongside emerging local efforts, including the ReUse Bow Valley Hub pilot. Then we’ll turn the conversation to the room: What could be possible in the Bow Valley, what road blocks are getting in the way, and what partnerships, infrastructure, policies, and practices could help us get there? And what is the next step in the Bow Valley?
