We value the natural beauty of this city in which we work, play and live. This is why we greatly recognize the importance of supporting our local community in every aspect. We continually strive to participate in as many community projects and events as possible. It is our goal to preserve and enhance our community’s environment and aesthetic every day.
Recent ProjectsSutherland Schoolyard Market Garden
Our hard working team is very proud to have volunteered the equipment and the expertise required to help build the Schoolyard Market Garden at Sutherland Secondary. The North Shore Neighbourhood House’s Edible Garden Project is developing the Schoolyard Market as an innovative outdoor classroom in order to revitalize under-used school lands.
Teachers and students will use the garden as a classroom, and the community will be invited in to volunteer and learn. This market garden is intended to sell thousands of pounds of fresh produce, demonstrate organic farming practices, create green-collar jobs on the North Shore, and provide an engaging outdoor classroom for students and teachers.
