As of January 2026, CELC is now Circular Construction Canada (CCC) – a sector-focused, action-oriented platform dedicated to advancing circularity in Canada’s construction and real estate sector.
Through strategic convening, regional demonstration projects, and knowledge sharing, Circular Construction Canada is working to advance cost-efficient, market-ready solutions and de-risk investments in circular strategies, practices, and technologies.
We are part of a broader family of organizations under the umbrella of Generate Canada, a not-for-profit charity, focused on advancing a “strong and inclusive economy that thrives within nature’s limits”. In addition to Circular Construction Canada (formerly CELC), the organizations under Generate Canada’s umbrella include: the Canada Plastics Pact, the Energy Futures Lab, the Canadian Alliance for Net-Zero Agri-food (CANZA), and the Nature Investment Hub.
Much of Generate Canada’s work is done through innovation-focused multi-stakeholder initiatives that place us on the front-lines of the environment and economy, working alongside major brands, policy-makers, and key stakeholders.
In collaboration with leaders and experts from industry, government, and civil society, our teams are working to collectively develop effective and scalable solutions to economic, social, and environmental sustainability and resilience.
