Young Leaders in Infrastructure (YLI)

The mandate of the Young Leaders in Infrastructure (YLI) is to engage and create relationships among the next generation of Canadian leaders in the infrastructure sector. Through networking and education opportunities, YLI will guide the growth of infrastructure and the P3 model for future generations.

YLI delivers this mandate through the following three pillars:

Connect

• Attract and retain talent
• Traditional and interactive events
• Use social media to communicate and facilitate networking
• Connect with other groups and associations

Educate

• Mentoring and career assistance 
• Knowledge sharing across disciplines
• Understand more than transactional nature of infrastructure investments

Influence

• Advocate for intelligent infrastructure investment
• Create working subcommittees
• Participate in the CCPPP conference
