The Iqaluit Community Greenhouse Society Board is actively seeking donations from the public, government services and corporations. In order to fund the many needs of the Society, we have applied to several sources for support. We are pleased to announce that our hard work has come to some fruition (pun intended!).
The Qulliq Power Corporation was approached and responded with a generous contribution! This is a grant and will certainly go some distance in recharging our much depleted bank account. We are very grateful for their support.
Are you a member of the Society or just want to help? It’s easy! If you are aware of a corporation or individual that can help us out with our yearly funding needs, please send any information you have to us and we will formally approach them for sponsorship.
Thanks Qulliq! Spring is here and growing will start shortly in the greenhouse. We have new compost, so the 2013 year will be a very green one. Thanks also go to NorthMart for a discount on the transport and purchase of the compost. We are indeed a community!

With 2013 only hours away, good things are on the horizon for the Iqaluit Community Greenhouse Society. While growing season in the north is still months off, keep your eyes and ears open for opportunities to help us raise funds for the greenhouse throughout the winter and spring. We can’t wait to get growing…can you?
Happy New Year!!!

The end of summer in Iqaluit is almost here…and chances are, your car or truck probably got a little dirty this season. But don’t fret!
The Iqaluit Community Greenhouse Society will be holding a car wash fundraiser on Saturday, September 1 from 10 AM to 4 PM at the Iqaluit Fire Station. This fundraiser will be weather permitting, so watch for an announcement by 9 AM on Saturday if the weather looks iffy.
For only $20, we will get your car sparkling and shiny in preparation for winter. This is the last long weekend of the season – take advantage of it (and us!) to get some pre-winter cleaning done!
Don’t have a vehicle, but still want to help? We would love for you to come and wash cars with us! Contact Suzanne Etheridge to confirm your attendance.

The Government of Nunavut’s Department of Environment has posed a challenge to Nunavummiut to green up! Check out some of the ways you can live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle by clicking on the image below.
