This special supplement
to the January/February 2007 issue (available
to paid subscribers only) contains our annual
Top 10 infrastructure projects list appearing
in the regular edition in addition to profiles of
the Top 100 projects in Canada. As with the
Top 10, the list is ranked according the cost.
As could be expected, energy plants,
highway and transit projects all figure
prominently in the Top 100 projects.
Health care and educational facilities also have a major presence –
combined, they make up 40 of the top 100. Hundreds of interviews
went into compiling the most accurate information possible, and the
most complete list possible. But what our writer found was that the
more research he did, the more projects he uncovered. This list of 100
represents a fraction of the work being done across Canada. If you are
involved in, or know of a project you feel is top-100 worthy, give us a
call – we’re working on the 2008 edition already. At ReNew Canada,
our mission is to bring these projects to the foreground and encourage
more infrastructure renewal in communities across the country.
We are, after all, the infrastructure renewal magazine.
