In January 2026, Circular Economy Leadership Canada (CELC) re-launched as Circular Construction Canada (CCC). The resources featured on this page were generated by CELC across a range of industries prior to the re-launch. Please find all new and CELC construction-related resources on Circular Construction Canada.
