BC Housing Commission Goes Green!
BC Housing Employees are Committing to Sustainable Living and Invite Others to Join the Challenge
Vancouver, BC – March 12, 2025 – The BC Housing Management Commission is happy to
announce the launch of a new livegreen Sustainability Initiative as the team takes on the
commitment to sustainability at home and at the office. To kick off the livegreen Sustainability
Initiative, staff of the BC Housing Commission will be invited to participate in a
Bike-To-Work/Carpool week, going from March 17-21 as an activity to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, and we are inviting our communities to join in.
The goals of the new livegreen Sustainability initiative will be to raise awareness of
environmental concerns in the corporate and housing landscapes while supporting and
encouraging sustainable living among our employees, teams, and communities. The initiative is being headed and organized by an employee-driven green team, the livegreen Employee Council. Using activities and competitive challenges, such as the kick off Bike-To-Work week, zero waste challenges, and challenges to use less paper in the office, the livegreen Council will
facilitate and encourage employee sustainable living and consideration of environmental footprints both on the individual and corporate levels.
As BC Housing and their employees take the dive into commitment to sustainable living and
work, the community is invited to join in. Our teams will be posting sustainability challenges
on the BC Housing website and social media for everyone to follow along with. Post on
social media about your efforts to be environmentally conscious and sustainable, or your
participation in our Challenges, and tag us @BCHousinglivegreenSustainablitly.
Let’s go Green!
