Steven Peck, GRP, HON ASLA, Founder and President
Steven spearheaded the first green roof demonstration project on Toronto City Hall more than 20 years ago and the mandatory green roof policy in Toronto a decade ago. This innovative policy has resulted in more than 10 million additional square feet of green roof space across the city. Due to Steven’s work, GRHC has helped to win green roof policy victories in San Francisco, Washington, DC; Portland, Oregon; and Denver, Colorado. Steven also founded Green Infrastructure Ontario coalition to bring together organizations that share an interest in the protection and development of green infrastructure in Ontario. In 2007 he co-founded the World Green Infrastructure Network, an international organization that promotes the use of green infrastructure around the world.
