Knowledge & Networking Event- Reduction in Embodied Carbon & Net Zero Achievements at the Sidney Centre for Plant Health

Our presentation will speak directly to two key subtopics that were part of the focus of this year’s national SLCan conference:

·       Developing space that will meet our net zero carbon goals

·       Developing space that top scientists want to work in

Together, Kevin and Antoni will present the sustainable design features and current construction status of the Sidney Center for Plant Health project, near Victoria BC. The Sidney facility is Canada's only post-entry quarantine, research and diagnostic facility for imported plant material. The laboratory is responsible for virus testing of all fruit-bearing trees, grapevines and small fruit (e.g. berries), in order to ensure the safe introduction of foreign plant material into Canada.
