Current Projects
In 2006, ECO Canada and Royal Roads University partnered to create the Canadian Centre for Environmental Education (CCEE). The CCEE offers an environmental certificate program that takes the best online environmental university and college courses and combine them into one certificate. There are currently more than 20 universities and colleges participating by offering their courses. Some of these include: Cape Breton University, University of Toronto, Red River College, Sault College, University of Victoria, Ryerson University, Royal Military College, BCIT, and SIAST.
In May 2009, ECO Canada made available its 2009 Compensation Report. This document is Canada’s first detailed study of compensation related to key occupations in the environmental sector.
In October 2009, ECO Canada released its 2009 HR Best Practices Report discussing innovative HR practices from a variety of Canadian environmental companies.
On October 1, 2009, ECO Canada announced its new national certification program for greenhouse gas (GHG) professionals. The certification will be administered by ECO Canada's certification body, the Canadian Environmental Certification Approvals Board (CECAB).

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or projects:
“It is a quite remarkable fact that the great religions of the most civilized peoples are more deeply fraught with sadness than the simpler beliefs of earlier societies. This certainly does not mean that the current of pessimism is eventually to submerge the other, but it proves that it does not lose ground and that it does not seem destined to disappear.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
