Sustainability
Inspired by the Past, Motivated by the Future
The transformation of the historic Don Valley Brick Works into Canada’s first large-scale community environmental centre represents a striking new model for the future—a heritage destination where nature meets innovation in the heart of an urban centre.
Sustainability is a goal that that was fundamental to the design of the centre, and will be front and centre in site operations. Sustainability is also a central programming theme – visitors will be given many ideas that they can take home and apply in their own homes, businesses and schools to help create healthier cities.
