Rowntree is constantly trying to make our building ‘ greener’ . Ā In 2024 we partnered with Faithful Footprints Ā 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 noticed missing insulation, roof leaks and ventilation lacking from previous work which resulted in extensive heat loss and moldy drywall. So we ended up with a bigger bill than we figured: costs went from $27,600 to $43,800.Ā However, we should significantly reduce our natural gas usage and make our building greener.Ā We’ve introduced a fund-raiser to pay this off : Green (Rown)Tree and asking for your financial help.
