2019 Emerald Recipient – Community Group or Not-for-Profit: Large Organization Category presented by Syncrude Canada Ltd.
The Goodwill Impact Centre (GIC) is the first of its kind in Western Canada. The GIC opened its doors in 2017 and illustrates how this non-profit organization is taking its commitment to reusing, repurposing, and recycling to another level. Overlooked treasures from their Edmonton region thrift stores are sent to the GIC outlet, where DIYers, bargainistas, and upcyclers pay by the pound or at discounted prices. In 2018, Goodwill Industries of Alberta diverted over 13 million kilograms from local landfills, an increase of 3% in one year.
The Emerald Documentary Series is produced by the Alberta Emerald Foundation and created by Hoopla Media.
