Environmentally friendly neighbourhoods

I read today that Currie Barracks in Calgary is the "first project in Canada and the largest to date worldwide, to earn gold certification for its approved plan from the LEED for Neighborhood Development program." The Barracks is a large development of a modern and environmentally sound neighbourhood on former military land. The project is being developed by the Canada Lands Company, the company that developed the CN Sportplex and Franklin Crossing neighbourhood in Moncton.

Closer to home, the Telegraph Journal reported today that the Old North End is having an "environmental assembly" this evening to discuss and learn about small ways to improve the environment in the North End.
