“Building Community, One Landscape at a Time”
At our core, we believe that landscapes serve as the foundation for thriving communities. They’re not just spaces; they’re the backdrop of our lives, hosting moments of joy, peace, and connection. This perspective shapes every community project we undertake, aiming to transform each area into a vibrant community hub. Through our commitment to “Building Community, One Landscape at a Time,” we’ve had the honor of contributing to various initiatives that embody our purpose.
Highlighted Community Projects
Creating the 1st Native Bee Garden in the District of North Vancouver
In partnership with the District of North Vancouver, we designed and installed a Native Bee Garden—a haven for pollinators and people alike. This project highlights our commitment to biodiversity and provides a beautiful, educational space for the community to learn about the importance of bees in our ecosystem. What once was just a garden full of weeds and bramble, has become a beautiful garden full of wildflowers, bee-turf and drought tolerant perrenials.
Sponsoring Grouse Mountain Tyee Ski Club since 2014
We believe in fostering young talents and providing opportunities for them to connect with nature and each other. Our ongoing sponsorship of the Grouse Mountain Tyee Ski Club is a testament to this belief, supporting a healthy, active lifestyle for the youth in our community.
Sponsoring West Vancouver PumpkinFest since 2012
PumpkinFest has become a cherished annual tradition in West Vancouver, thanks to its ability to bring people together in celebration of autumn and community spirit. Our sponsorship of this event underscores our dedication to creating communal spaces where memories are made.
Partnering with Edible Garden Project
We understand the importance of sustainable, locally-sourced food. By partnering with the Edible Garden Project, we’ve helped build fences around both urban farms in North Vancouver that they operate, protecting and promoting urban agriculture that everyone in the community can benefit from.
Donating Maintenance Services to Thrive since 2022
Our commitment to community extends to supporting organizations like Thrive, North Shore Family Services, which works tirelessly to make our community a better place. By donating maintenance services to them, we help ensure their spaces remain welcoming and beautiful for those who rely on their services.
Pumpkin Fest
Supporting West Vancouver PumpkinFest Since 2012: PumpkinFest has become a cherished annual tradition in West Vancouver, embracing community spirit, raising funds, and bringing people together in celebration of autumn and community. On average, over 5,000 people come together each year to enjoy the pumpkin patch, where children interact with farm animals, partake in interactive games, peruse artisan markets, and enjoy local food vendors while listening to fantastic local musical talent.
Our Commitment to the Future
Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue exploring new ways our services can contribute to building stronger, more connected communities. We remain dedicated to enhancing the beauty and functionality of outdoor spaces, making them accessible and enjoyable for all ages.
Our projects are more than just areas of aesthetic appeal; they are vibrant community assets where life unfolds, friendships blossom, and communities thrive.
We invite you to join us in this meaningful endeavor—whether by collaborating on a project, participating in the events we sponsor, or simply enjoying the landscapes we’ve had the privilege of shaping. Together, we can continue to enrich our community, one landscape at a time.
Community Days
Building community is an integral part of our daily routine here at The Great Canadian Landscaping Company. Attending and being a part of local events such as the Lynn Valley Days and Canada Day Parade are important to our team’s culture and development as a business. We are proud to have built our company’s roots from the small village of Lynn Valley, which now services Vancouver, the North Shore and Sea to Sky Corridor.
Bursaries
Supporting young, energetic students with bursaries to further their post secondary education in horticulture, landscape construction or landscape design is key to our long-term success in our industry. When we provide additional financial resources to students at the high-school, college and university levels, it allows them to concentrate their energy and focus on their studying without the burden of financial resources and student debt.
