Since its founding in February 2003, CaGBC has been growing rapidly and now has approximately 120 members. Membership fees (like those for the USGBC) are on a sliding scale, with larger organizations paying more; for the smallest firms, CaGBC memberships start at CA$150 per year. According to one of the founders, developer Joe Van Belleghem, an early priority of the Council will be education. CaGBC plans to offer a wide range of training programs and partner with others to broaden that outreach. To help make that happen, CaGBC hired Alex Zimmerman as president on August 1, and Erika Mayer started as national coordinator on August 18. Zimmerman will work at the Victoria, British Columbia office and Mayer at the Ottawa office.
