Environmental Initiatives
We care strongly about the environment, and have taken the following actions to help
protect it:
- The use of propane and hybrid vehicles
- Propane powered equipment
- Cutting edge equipment- Including smokeless roofing kettles
Global Initiatives
We have also put forth a courageous amount of support for those who have suffered
catastrophic events. Our work in this area includes:
- 2004-2005 In association with North Shore Adopt a Village, we at Burrard Roofing
and Drainage helped raise over $50,000 to send one of our own carpenters
to South
East Asia to help rebuild ravaged villages. Money went to Komuk, a small island
in Thailand. A fleet of 100 fishing boats were rebuilt, children's schools were
rebuilt, and libraries were restocked. A water catchment system was designed, and
implemented and fresh water wells were installed.
-
2006-2007 Burrard Roofing and Drainage again sent one of our carpenters to
Southern Sudan to assist breaking ground and constructing an orphanage. We participated
in fund raising for the construction of the orphanage and are now raising funds
with OBK and Hungry For Life, for the aid of ultimately 100 children.
