New 2012-2013 EP Events Schedule Announced 
Upcoming events to focus on hot topic of environmental management
Environmental employees across the country are invited to a day of networking and professional development as ECO Canada hosts its 5th annual Environmental Professional (EP) Event Series. This year's theme of
Environmental Management aims to satisfy industry demand as the relationship between business and environment continues to grow.
Past EP Event guest speaker, David Parkinson, Vice President of Maritime Operations with AMEC Environment & Infrastructure, spoke on
Environmental Management and Business Success in Moncton, NB, this past June. Parkinson commented on the real business implications of environmental management and the relationship to a company's overall competitive advantage. Consequently, as the impact of environmental management becomes more recognized it will not be uncommon to see more CEOs with environmental management backgrounds.
The 2012-2013 EP Events season kicks-off in Edmonton in late September, moving across the country stopping in seven of Canada's major cities. A complete event schedule and link to registration can be found at
