“We are pleased to be recognized on this short list of Canada-wide submissions,” said Rob Horne, the Region’s Commissioner of Planning, Housing and Community Services. “We are enjoying remarkable success in building our community and rehabilitating contaminated properties is a big part of that success.”
The winners of the 2014 Brownie Awards will be announced Oct. 28, 2014, at the 2014 CUI Brownfields Conference in Toronto.

Breithaupt and Tannery won locally!
It's amazing the number of architectural awards this region is starting to collect. We still have a long ways to go before we are an architectural destination, but I like the way things are moving.
It's pretty cool that even years after starting, the Tannery is still winning awards.
