Event Details

The purpose of this tour is to give an introduction to green commercial buildings and homes. The audience is Vancouver’s design, construction and real estate industries as well as the general public. On the tours, whether you are an industry insider or a member of the general public, you will find out what features are “green,” what the costs and benefits are of green building, and how you can incorporate such features into your next home or future project.

Purchasing a ticket gives you access to all of the Green Skyline tours throughout British Columbia for September 25-28, 2008. Most tours will begin at 11AM and will start at 1.5 hour intervals thereafter: 12:30pm, 2:00pm, and 3:30pm. Registrants can start at whichever building they want to and make their own way to tour the buildings in whichever sequence they please.

HOWEVER, purchasing this bike tour ticket for the commercial building tour on Friday in Vancouver means that you intend to participate in this tour:
