Kortwright Centre - A green venue?

The Kortwright Conservation Centre is another venue which promotes 'green' credentials. Here is their list of compliance, to compare with other venues, such as the Black Creek Village venue (posted below) or other sites you may visit. It's work having some of these lists to ask questions...

  • Complete local and organic menus available.
  • Source local vendors to supply food, alcohol and linens.
  • Vegetable and soy wax candles used to create an intimate ambience.
  • Fair trade coffee and tea served.
  • 100% Bullfrog powered facility.
  • No use of chemicals or pesticides to maintain grounds.
  • Facilities cleaned with eco-friendly and biodegradable products.
  • We have an onsite recycling program.
  • We reduce water consumption with an onsite wetland wastewater treatment system.
  • We have an onsite solar hot water heating system.
  • Our staff car pool to work to reduce carbon emissions.
  • All proceeds go towards environmental education programs.
  • By holding the ceremony and reception here we reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions produced by your guests' vehicles.
