Purpose of ECO Canada’s Research Community
The purpose of ECO Canada’s Research Community is to gain a more in-depth understanding of the environmental industry from the unique perspective of environmental professionals and employers. Learning about these perspectives will help ECO Canada
continually improve its products and services and will also help to elevate the profile of environmental employment in Canada.
Recognition for your Participation (ECO Canada EP members only)
You may want to put this on your resume or you may belong to a professional association that will give you professional development (PD) credits for your participation in the research community. We will be happy to confirm your participation for you.

for the quality or content of other websites or third-party products.
