Environmental Commitment

We Implement Sustainability Practices

To reduce energy use and minimize our impact on the environment, we employ green building principles, reducewater use and wasteful lighting, use green housekeeping products and encourage staff to take transit.  To us, sustainability also means strengthening our community with local employment, services, food,  entertainment and other attractions.

The Summerhill Retirement Residence is a dedicated group of 115 environmentally conscious North Vancouver seniors. Many years ago residents proactively initiated a comprehensive recycling program, resulting in the diversion of numerous tonnes of waste every year. Additionally the residents initiated a relationship with Queen Mary Elementary School. Residents collect all of their refundable recycling for the students to redeem.
