Background Information
The growth of the Canadian environmental sector created the need for the CCEE; offering education and professional development opportunities for individuals working within, or interested in pursuing a career in, an environmental profession.
In 2005, the Centre was developed as a partnership between ECO Canada and Royal Roads University and has since secured the participation of over 25 reputable colleges and universities from across Canada.
