Join ULI BC, in collaboration with ZEBx, for an insightful virtual morning conversation with Jolene McLaughlin, Vice President of Climate and Sustainability at EllisDon, as we explore what steady progress looks like in the decarbonization of Canada’s construction industry.
In 2023, Jolene co-authored an article urging Canada to keep pace with U.S. climate leadership. Two years later, much has changed—politically, economically, and within the industry itself.
Natalie Douglas, ZEBx Program Manager at the Zero Emissions Innovation Centre, will sit down with Jolene virtually to revisit that call to action and reflect on what’s shifted since then. What role does the construction and building sector play in both reducing emissions and adapting to the realities of a changing climate? And how might the federal government’s recently announced plans to accelerate building across Canada influence this transition?
Grab a coffee, bring your questions, and join us for a timely and forward-looking discussion on building a more sustainable future.
This event will be hosted virtually on July 16th, 2025, at 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. EDT.
