Making our building greener
Rowntree is constantly trying to make our building ‘ greener’ , ie reducing our carbon footprint. In 2024 we partnered with Faithful Footprints of the United Church and Thomas Dyna-Build renovators of London to re-work the Brampton St. entrance. This job was completed in the fall but was more extensive than we’d planned; we found insulation missing, roof leaks and ventilation lacking from previous work which had to be fixed. So we ended up with a bigger bill than we figured: costs went from $27,600 to $43,800, some of which Faithful Footsteps covered. However, we should significantly reduce our natural gas usage and make our building greener. We’ve introduced a fund-raiser to pay this off : Green (Rown)Tree and asking for your financial help. So when you donate, please apportion some to this. Thank-You
