2008
The Toyota Evergreen Learning Grounds program is awarded a silver Canadian Environmental Award in the Environmental Health category. The Canadian Environment Awards program was founded in 2002 as a partnership between the Government of Canada and Canadian Geographic Enterprises, which manages the program and publishes the magazines. The Canadian Environment Awards program is a national bilingual celebration that recognizes four levels of environmental excellence: Community Awards, Citation of Lifetime Achievement, the Ideas for Life™ Award and The Green Team Challenge.
Evergreen is awarded a silver Urban Leadership Award (ULA), in the City Livability category, as a result of its significant contribution to the public realm. The City Livability category recognizes actions that make cities more livable from finding new ways and means to improve healthcare, education and environment to enhancing public places and spaces and instilling confidence about personal safety and security. In addition, Evergreen is recognized in the Local Hero category through its partner, the Thunder Bay Neighbourhood Association, for its work on "A United Neighbourhood.”
