2010 EEN Canada

History

The third Canadian Environmental Evaluators Network Forum was held at the Government Conference Centre in Ottawa, Ontario on September 30- October 1, 2010.  Some thirty-eight people attended the event, which included a cross section of evaluators and program managers in federal, provincial, municipal, academic, non-profit foundation sectors and included representation from the United States.

The forum was planned and delivered by a small consortium of volunteers from both public and private sectors. The event was supported by Environment Canada with financial contributions from five federal organizations with environmental portfolio interests (Agriculture and Agri-Food, Indian and Northern Affairs, Parks Canada Agency, Public Health Agency, Public Works and Government Services).

The following section provides links to presentations delivered at the Canadian forum.
