Green Calgary

Testimonials

“Green Calgary has been an excellent resource for us in our journey to sustainability! They are highly professional and very knowledgeable. The Green Workplace Report was a critical tool in supporting our move to hiring a service provider for mixed-materials recycling and organics collection, and the workplace presentations we have hosted were well attended and received excellent feedback; several employees subsequently signed up for the Healthy Homes program as a result. We would certainly recommend Green Calgary to any company looking for support with their sustainability initiatives, and we are happy to continue supporting them as part of our Quarry Park-It Challenge commuter trip reduction program!”

 - Jennifer Hedayat, Environmental Engineer and Western Canada Internal Sustainability Lead, AMEC Environment & Infrastructure

 

“Thanks to you and the whole Green Calgary team for continuing to support Calgary Folk Music  Festival in our greening initiatives. The information and guidance you provide to us are instrumental in our continuing success. Your report gives a lot of food for thought and illuminates some areas where things just did not go according to plan but even more importantly shows how our ongoing efforts really do make a difference to our overall environmental footprint.”

            - Talia Potter, Volunteer Manager, Calgary Folk Music Festival

 

"Overtime, First Calgar Financial’s relationship with Green Calgary has evolved, strengthened and includes many touch points. Not only do we value our relationship with them as a community partner, through the Water for Life program, but we often engage Green Calgary as a source of expertise on a variety of fronts.

Whether they are helping us do a waste assessment of our offices, presenting a lunch and learn on waste reduction, serving as a resource to our Environmental Advocacy Team, presenting exciting volunteer opportunities to our employees or being a phone call away to answer a quick question – Green Calgary fills a critical service for our company and our communities."

- Teri Shortreed, Corporate Citizenship Specialist, First Calgary Financial


“The Calgary Board of Education recognizes the importance of providing strategic leadership that supports the reduction of our environmental footprint by decreasing the amount of waste destined for landfill.

Green Calgary’s recent waste assessment at the Ed Centre identified potential waste reduction and diversion strategies that will assist us in reaching this objective.”

- Frank Coppinger, Superintendent of Facilities and Environmental Services, Calgary Board of Education
