Centre for Advancement of Trenchless Technologies

GPS Consortium Member

The University of Waterloo, City of Waterloo, National Research Council of Canada and 25 founding members from municipalities, industrial equipment, and material suppliers, contractors, consultants, and gas industry provided initial funding and support for the formation of CATT.

During the last 10 years, CATT has achieved significant recognition as an international leader in trenchless technology education and research. This success has been due to membership support and participation.

Without CATT members, we would not have been able to meet our mandate for trenchless technologies promotion and education through events such as workshops, seminars, courses, training of highly qualified personnel, etc. Since CATT does not receive government funding it relies on industry and member support to meet its mandate.

The vision of the Living City: to transform the GTA into one of the most sustainable, livable city regions in the world, where human settlement can flourish forever as part of nature’s beauty and diversity.

KEY COMPONENT

A key component of the strategy for advancing the Living City vision was the development of an innovative centre for demonstration, research, and education called The Living City Campus.

Located at the Kortright Centre for Conservation in Vaughan, Ontario, The Living City Campus is Canada’s largest environmental and renewable energy education and demonstration centre, welcoming approximately 80,000 visitors per year.
