Thanks to Green City Motors for providing the venue and Community Natural Foods for the coffee and muffins.

Ryan Kloster from Green City Motors, Frank Sarro and Bruce Martin from Community Natural Foods, and Dean Halstead from Calgary Mattress Factory will speak briefly about the importance of sustainability in their business strategy.

REAP, which stands for Respect for the Earth and All People, is Calgary's green business network.  It was founded in Calgary in 2006 with the vision to create a vibrant living economy where citizens understand and value the impact of shopping locally.

REAP members are Calgary businesses with visionary leaders who are concerned about helping to create a more sustainable city. They make ethical business decisions - buying green power, paying their employees a living wage, supporting local suppliers and giving back to their community - because they believe in the importance of corporate social responsibility. By supporting these companies, citizens enhance their quality of life and actively express their highest values.
