Growing to Give Community Garden

For several years now, the ‘Growing to Give’ project has been a true community garden success, providing residents with the opportunity to grow vegetables in a community setting, and gain hands-on education about gardening and cooking their own food. The garden volunteers have generously donated portions of their harvest to community organizations and individuals in need. In 2013, the garden volunteers donated over 100 kilograms of organic produce!

 

Urban Growers

Who are the Urban Growers?

 

They are 4 university students highly passionate about the environment and their communities. Combining these interests drove them to be part of the climate action program Innovate MY Future, which supports young adults in designing a local project aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change. They decided to focus on the topic of local food and pollinators.

 

Green Buildings

Green Buildings are key to urban environmental sustainability through establishing a sustainable built form. The City of Vaughan continues to set the bar high for construction of green buildings with the adoption of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), an internationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings.
