Canadian Home Builder's Association - Central Alberta
THE LANDMARK HOMES (RED DEER) MAIN STAGE Carson Arthur
Meet Carson Arthur of Global T.V.’s Room to Grow and HGTV’s Green Force Presentation: Saturday, March 17: 11am and 2pm Sunday, March 18: 11am and 2pm
Carson Arthur: Landscape Designer on 'Green Force' on HGTV
 Carson Arthur started his television career as a behind-the-scenes prop coordinator for a national garden call-in show. Very quickly, Carson turned an opportunity to host his own show into a landscape design staple. With international coverage, Carson has become a voice of environmentally friendly landscape design on a global scale. By addressing outdoor challenges with a keen sense of style and a passion for eco-consciousness, Carson continues to reinvent the definition of gardening. With his first series, Room To Grow, Carson created inspired outdoor spaces for homeowners and taught a generation of viewers how to increase their own living spaces by expanding outside. Following on the heels of his first success, Green Force provided Carson with the opportunity to take on some of the largest challenges associated with urban living. Carson and his team travel throughout a large urban center and tackle some of the most depressing, under-utilized, and forgotten spaces around us turning them into parks and beautiful art installations while using environmentally friendly techniques and products.
Carson takes pride in where he lives and what he does. As the spokesperson for both the Canadian Diabetes Association, the Canadian Immunization Program and for BluePlanet Environmentals, Carson has made the most of his television career to date by being active in helping to develop a better understanding of green living within a social context. When not in the dirt; building, planting writing or designing, Carson keeps himself busy with his own lines of patio furniture and gardening tools and as the principle designer for Carson Arthur Designs.

Meet Dave Turnbull
Topic: Sustainability and your New (Old) Home
Sponsor: Landmark Group
Presentation:
Friday, March 16: 4:00pm Saturday, March 17: 4:00pm
There is a change coming in the Homebuilding (and Renovation) Industry. Builders, renovators, customers, and all levels of government are paying more attention to the effect we are having on the environment in which we live. The homes we live in have a large impact on the environment. Our choices in how we build and how we operate our homes will continue to affect the environment for years to come.
So what can we do? More importantly, how much is this going to cost me? The answers will surprise you! You can help the environment & save money all at the same time! It’s all about making the right choices. Dave Turnbull, Product Development Manager and Sustainability Director for the Landmark Group of Builders, will discuss the choices we can make in our new home (or our existing home) that will lessen the effect we have on the planet and possibly save us a bit of money along the way.
Dave is the Product Development Manager and Sustainability Director for the Landmark Group of Builders, one of Alberta’s largest residential construction companies. For the past 5 years Landmark has been one of the leaders in the homebuilding industry in the areas of sustainability and industrialization of the construction process. Dave has over 25 years of experience in the homebuilding industry from all different areas, trades, supply, wholesale and homebuilder. Dave serves the industry as chair of the CHBA-Edmonton Environment Committee and as Vice President of Built Green Canada promoting sustainable building wherever he goes.
