The Healthy Indoors Partnership (HIP) is an industry association which catalyzes action on Canadian indoor environmental issues through multi-stakeholder collaboration. We connect people, ideas and resources from government, industry, educational & research institutions, and public interest groups to provide the tools and expertise to promote healthy indoor environments. Together, we are accomplishing more than any of our members could alone.
We offer a range of opportunities for businesses, governments and non-government organizations to work together, for mutual benefit, to create healthier indoor environments and a range of communication vehicles for reaching consumers and industry professionals with an interest in healthier indoor environments.
