Rainwater Harvesting 2005: Across-Canada Workshop Series on Thinking Outside the Pipe

The Vancouver Workshop was filled to capacity. Attendance was capped at 90 when registrations surged in the days beforehand. Those who were turned away from the Vancouver event were urged to attend the Victoria event, where another 60 registered.

The Vancouver and Victoria workshops were part of a series of cross-Canada events sponsored by Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation (CMHC). Workshops were also held in Calgary (Alberta), Toronto (Ontario), Sherbrooke (Quebec) and Halifax (Nova Scotia).
