What is the Green+Leaders program?

The Green+Leaders program is a network of health-care staff volunteers across the Lower Mainland health organizations, who are engaged in advancing sustainability practices within the health system. Green+Leaders are change agents who encourage environmentally sustainable behaviour, improve existing processes, and help to create an overall culture of environmental health and wellness inside and outside of the workplace.

Why Join the Green+Leaders program?

Green+Leaders are integral to each Lower Mainland health organization’s ongoing commitment to take responsibility for the environmental impact of B.C.’s health sector. By joining, you will:

  • Gain access to sustainability project funding, training, toolkits and other resources.
  • Become part of a supportive and social community of like-minded colleagues.
  • Participate in inspiring and educational events and sessions.
  • Make a positive impact on your workplace and community.
