UDI Vancouver breakfast - Cleaning Contaminated Sites

Contaminated sites form an increasingly large percentage of property transactions, so knowing what to expect will help your firm compete for land acquisitions. Join us to learn about the rules and regulations, as well as the possibilities, around managing brownfields.



UDI's panel of experts bring different perspectives on what you need to know when buying land and get your site ready for redevelopment.

Harm Gross - President, Next Environmental
Harm will focus on off-site contamination issues and, by using local case studies, will illustrate what to do when contamination travels "onto" or "off" your site.

Doug Harrison - Associate Counsel and Senior Solicitor, Edwards, Kenny & Bray LLP
Doug will update us on the myriad of legal issues surrounding contaminated sites not only in BC, but also Ontario and Alberta. 

Mike Macfarlane - Director, Land Remediation, BC Ministry of Environment
Mike will bring us up to speed on current brownfield issues his Ministry is dealing with that affect our membership.

Bruno Thielmann - Director of Land Development, Wesgroup Properties
