June 6th is World Green Roof Day (#WGRD2024)

Mark your calendars: June 6th is World Green Roof Day! As always, GRIN will celebrate with a green roof (GR) tour followed by happy social networking. Please plan to join us!

  • Who:     Humans interested in green roofs (including skeptics)
  • What:    Green roof tour followed by social networking/ happy hour
  • Where:  City of North Vancouver (Loblaws green roof, North Point Brewery)
  • When:   Thurs. June 6th, 4:30 – 6:30pm
  • How: RSVP to reserve your place

Our tour this year will be on the Loblaws City Market on Lonsdale. This extensive green roof is a success story of enhancement from a simple Sedum roof to one rich in biodiversity, including a spontaneous orchid! It is easily accessed by transit, plus bicycle racks at the entrance and street parking is free. Tours will be offered from 4:30 to 5:30. If you can’t arrive for 4:30, let us know and we’ll make it work! RSVP here to reserve your spot.

After the tour, we’ll coordinate movement to the brewery together. We’re grateful and pleased to partner with North Point Brewery, who have set aside part of their gorgeous loft for our networking social.

Please RSVP and mark your calendar, and enter any questions in the comments below.
