Green Initiatives
Sevenoaks Bees
A beehive was installed on the roof of our building in May 2021 and is one of the many ways we’re actively taking part in sustainable development in our community. These bees will help to pollinate the surrounding area and produce honey!

FOOD COURT ORGANICS PROGRAM
Since our Food Court Organics program began, in 2013, we have diverted 377 Metric Tons of food waste from the landfill!
LIGHTING RETROFITS
We have replaced the majority of our in-mall and parking lot lighting with newer, more sustainable LED lights! We continue to focus on upgrades throughout our centre to increase energy efficiency.
BOTTLE & CAN COLLECTION
Did you know that all monies collected from the return of recyclable beverage containers at the centre is donated to the Abbotsford School District School Meal Program? Since our partnership began in 2010, we have raised $21,413.16 to help provide daily nutritious lunches to vulnerable students. Studies show students who are well fed have better memory, less irritability, improved attention span and achieve higher test scores.
