This report was prepared by third-year Ryerson University students enrolled in PLG 620: Advanced Planning Studio I at the School of Urban and Regional Planning. The studio is conducted in consulting teams reporting to a faculty member (Chris De Sousa) addressing the needs of the client (The Canadian Brownfields Network). The group was tasked to examine all federal, provincial and territorial policies and regulations relating to brownfields remediation and redevelopment throughout Canada. Factors examined include liability and financial structures, regulatory processes, provincial and municipal programs, remediation techniques and standards, stakeholder involvement, and current federal and provincial government involvement and strategies in brownfields.
