FINDING SUSTAINABLE PATHWAYS

OUR PROCESS

NRT Plenary Session – September 15-16, 2009 – Willson House, Meech Lake, Quebec

September 15-16, 2009

The NRT builds consensus, beginning with our Members. NRT Members are appointed by the Government of Canada for up to three years. Our Members are themselves a group of distinguished sustainability leaders active in businesses, universities, environmental groups, labour and public policy from across Canada. They meet in a round table format that offers a safe haven for discussion and encourages the unfettered exchange of ideas leading to consensus.While they hold different perspectives, they think and work through the same lens – bringing the environment and economy together.
