Vancouver Island Green Business Collective

Bowen Road Country Grocer is 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 is happy to announce that we have joined the program this year and are excited to share our ongoing environmental metrics with you!
