The Green Line is Calgary’s largest publicly funded infrastructure projects, and when completed will move approximately 65,000 riders each day. It will connect Southeast and North-Central Calgary to the downtown core, making our city more livable and our downtown even more robust. The Green Line has been the subject of renewed public debate and council consideration as it was revealed that there were cost concerns associated with the portion of the track around downtown. Join us as Graham Gerylo, Senior Manager, Stakeholder Relation for the City of Calgary’s Green Line project provides an overview of the Green Line vision, and updates the industry on the current status of the project including the complicated downtown component.

Cost: $55 for members, $110 for non-members (includes hot breakfast buffet)
