Better Buildings Boot Camp  2023 brought together graduate and diploma students from 10 universities and colleges to collaborate on a deep energy retrofit of York University's Assiniboine Graduate Student.

EcoFair is online and FREE this year.  A jam packed learning event, I am thrilled t be speaking at the finale webinar on Sunday, Nov. 7th, from 4-5 p.m. EST.

This year's virtual Green Building Festival and Better Buildings Boot Camp were a huge success.  Are you a part of a Canadian university or college interested in collaborating on the Boot Camp?  We are looking to expand programs, students and speakers.  Write to BootCamp@sbcanada.org to let us know your thoughts!
