We are a certified Ocean Wise partner.
As a certified Ocean Wise partner, we choose our seafood options based on the Vancouver Aquarium’s sustainability recommendations. The choices are based on current research about limiting damage to our ocean habitats. Seafood with this symbol has been caught in a way that limits accidental catch of other species, specifically endangered ocean life.
To select the most sustainable options, look for the Ocean Wise symbol.
We are also a part of the Wild Salmon Supporters Network, and collaborate with other local supporters to promote this important cause.
We are an approved Green Table Member
As a GTN Approved Member we are:
- Eliminating polystyrene (styrofoam) and non-recyclable plastics – trays, containers and cutlery will be recyclable or biodegradable.
- Implementing full container and paper recycling programs – we’re also making improvements to our take-back programs.
- Posting ‘turn it off’ light and faucet reminders to help promote good conservation habits.
- Retrofitting current incandescent lighting to energy efficient technologies; this will reduce our carbon footprint by one-half tonne.
- Purchasing 30-100% PCF recycled paper products, from menus to napkins.
- Adopting a basic Sustainable Purchasing Policy – our ‘Green Team’ is setting clear sustainability goals across our entire supply chain.
- We have also installed low-flow fixtures on all our dish/cleaning sinks, saving thousands of litres of water and the energy to heat it.
