Vancouver Island Green Business Collective
Bowen Road and Duncan/North Cowichan Country Grocer are GOLD CERTIFIED with the Vancouver Island Green Business Collective!
The Vancouver Island Green Business Collective is a regional certification program that recognizes the efforts of local businesses that are reducing their environmental impact. Businesses are scored based on the number of action points they receive, as SILVER, GOLD, or GREEN. VIGBC is run by the BC non-profit Synergy Foundation.
Bowen Road and Duncan/North Cowichan are happy to announce that we have joined the program and are excited to share our ongoing environmental metrics with you!
