Holcim Canada's partnership with Evergreen Brick Works

Holcim Canada’s relationship with Evergreen started when the ‘Evergreen Brick Works Site Revitalization Project’ won an acknowledgement prize at the 2008 Holcim Awards competition. Already then the good fit was obvious:  Evergreen with its mission of creating a public space by using green materials and methods and Holcim Canada, a company committed to innovation and sustainability.

As the Foundation partner of Evergreen Brick Works, we contributed sustainable construction materials, services, technical advice and support for the construction of the project and its surrounding grounds.

We are proud to be a part of this unique site that is a symbol of Canada’s industrial past and moving forward, will serve as strong symbol of Canada’s green future. It will undoubtedly act as a catalyst for sustainable behaviour change. 

“Holcim Canada is proud to be associated with the Brick Works project and our partnership is an example of our commitment to innovation and sustainability. The Brick Works was essentially a quarry and this transformation demonstrates how such sites can be rehabilitated to create an ecological and community legacy.”
