The Climate Ready Infrastructure Service (CRIS) is a free expert advisory service designed to support municipalities, local governments, and Indigenous communities in planning and implementing climate-ready infrastructure projects.
Catch up on project updates, register for our next CityTalk Live, and learn how to access tailored guidance and cost-saving benefits for your community's infrastructure.
The CRIS is delivered by the Canadian Urban Institute and funded by the government of Canada as part of the Climate Toolkit for Housing and Infrastructure.
Getting Climate Ready: How Should We Rethink Infrastructure for Long-Term Resilience?
Thursday, May 15 | 12:00 p.m. | Live Zoom Webinar
Canadian communities are becoming increasingly vulnerable to extreme weather events, rising temperatures, and other environmental challenges. Smaller cities and communities in particular often lack the resources and expertise to embed climate resilience into their infrastructure plans.
Join us for CityTalk Live to explore how the Climate Ready Infrastructure Service (CRIS) is helping communities across Canada tackle climate change head-on through more resilient and sustainable infrastructure.
This conversation will spotlight one of the first CRIS-supported projects and feature insights from leaders in climate equity, sustainable engineering, and municipal planning to explore what it takes to build resilient infrastructure across Canada to meet the challenges of today – and tomorrow.
Whether you're a municipal leader, sustainability professional, or community advocate, don’t miss this opportunity to hear firsthand from the people driving place-based climate solutions.
