Leaders in Sustainability:

CIER is committed to maintaining the highest level of competence and integrity in sustainable practices.  In meeting this commitment, it has become a member of the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC), a non profit organization which exits to assist the design and construction of green building across Canada.  CIER is also a LEED accredited professional – one of the few in the province of Manitoba.

CIER defines sustainability as:
“Undertaking environmental, economic, and social activities in a manner that ensures local and global ecosystem structures and functions are able to maintain themselves in perpetuity.” www.cier.ca.

“Our definition of sustainability gives express preference to ecological sustainability. This is an acknowledgement that the other two dimensions - economic and social - depend upon on a healthy natural environment in order to maintain or achieve sustainability. Imagine a forestry industry without forests or a fishery without fish. The economic sustainability of these industries is wholly dependant on the sustainability of the forest and fish ecosystems. In the same sense, every living being needs clean water and clean air and a sustainable food source.” www.cier.ca.
