Initiatives: Vermillion Events

We are announcing the 2013 Vermillion event series.

It will feature thought-provoking research and some of Calgary's leading Innovators in Sustainability—whether they be practitioners, researchers, NGOs or businesses.

Then to repeat the constructive cycle, it will invite further cooperation to drill deeper, finding new paths to elevating all three dimensions of sustainable development.

Contact us to learn about the opportunities.

Senior Advisors

Brian Innes (Ottawa, Canada)

Brian helps Vermillion improve the public conversation around sustainability. His expertise in the areas of communications, agriculture science, consumer labelling and public affairs makes him an essential counsellor.

He holds a Bachelor of Science (Hons.) in agriculture from the University of Guelph and a Master of Science in agricultural economics from the University of Saskatchewan. His research focused on quality assurance policy and how consumers apportion trust to groups involved in food labelling. He went on to gain a global understanding of the interface between politics and policy in the Parliamentary Internship Programme, where he experienced the legislatures of Ottawa, Brussels, London, Edinburgh, Iqaluit, Quebec and Washington, D.C. As part of the program, Brian managed legislative, communication and strategic projects for the industry critic from the Bloc Quebecois and the Conservative parliamentary secretary to the minister of national defence.

Today, he is a strategic communications and public affairs consultant with a leading global firm. Brian provides counsel and research to a variety of clients in the public and private sectors.
