Meet our Members
The NRT builds consensus, beginning with our Members. NRT Members are appointed by the Government of Canada for up to three years. Our Members are themselves a group of distinguished sustainability leaders active in businesses, universities, environmental groups, labour and public policy from across Canada. While they hold different perspectives, they think and work through the same lens – bringing the environment and economy together.
