Green Living Show
The inaugural Green Living Show was launched at the Direct Energy Centre in Toronto, April 27-29, 2007, and was a huge success. In 2008, the Green Living Show debuted in Vancouver, February 29-March 2, at B.C. Place and returned to the Direct Energy Centre in Toronto, at twice the size. Green Living is pleased to announce the return of the Green Living Show to the Direct Energy Centre, Toronto, April 24-26, 2009.
Fundraising events
Green Living Enterprises successfully organized and managed the WWF Auction for Nature on eBay, raising over $200,000 in support of World Wildlife Fund Canada’s conservation efforts.
Green Living Enterprises also hosted the live presentation of An Inconvenient Truth by former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore, which preceded a small private luncheon to support Mr. Gore’s work and the work of Canadian environmental organizations.
Green Toronto Awards
"The Green Toronto Awards have quickly become a mainstay of Toronto’s environmental community. Greening our city is one of the top priorities for the City and our residents, so we’re happy to recognize and celebrate the individuals, groups and companies who are leading the way towards a more sustainable future. Everyone has a role to play, so I encourage you to join in and be a part of the momentum to keep Toronto clean, green and healthy." — Mayor David Miller
