Vol. 47, no. 3 / Posted on June 17, 2025

On behalf of the Canadian Urban Institute’s Climate Ready Infrastructure Service(CRIS), from June 16-30th, we're inviting firms to join our national roster of Climate and Infrastructure Experts. This is a paid opportunity to work with local governments, municipalities, and First Nations across Canada to develop climate-resilient options for infrastructure projects, funded by the Government of Canada through the CRIS Program: https://climatereadycanada.ca/

We are particularly looking to engage mid-sized engineering and consulting firms with experience in:

  • Assessing climate change hazards, including flooding, wildfire, permafrost thaw, and extreme weather events like heat waves and storms. 
  • Wildfire prevention, protection, and resilience solutions for infrastructure and community buildings.  
  • Designing or retrofitting public infrastructure, especially buildings and facilities to improve energy efficiency and decrease GHG emissions 
  • Renewable energy, including solar PV systems 
  • Battery backup power systems 
  • Fleet electrification and EV charging station installation 
  • Green infrastructure and nature-based solutions 
  • Resilience Hubs
