This Is Not Goodbye

The Canadian Centre for Sustainable Living (CCSL) is no longer offering a regular schedule of classes and seminars in the areas of solar photovoltaic energy specifically and renewable energies in general.  This does not mean that we are going away.  Given the current circumstances in Ontario right now (political, infrastructure and industry driven) it does not make sense for us to continue offering regular programming along with the fixed costs associated with that.  However, all of our programs are still available.  We will still offer our 40 hour NABCEP compliant solar pv training with the industry's most experienced instructors.  But it will be on the basis of you or your organization being able to commit to a certain number of students.  Contact us to discuss this.  We will also continue to offer our seminars to small groups or community organizations.  Again, please contact us so that we can better determine your needs and how CCSL can help you achieve your goals.
