» More about Summerhill Impact
Recently named one of the Best Workplaces in Canada for 2011 by Great Places to Work Institute Canada (#23 out of the 84 best with 50 to 999 employees, greatplacestowork.ca) and featured in a mid-April edition of the Globe and Mail, Summerhill Impact is all about empowering customers to make a positive impact through more sustainable decisions and behaviours in their daily lives.  Since 1993, Summerhill has been instrumental in connecting consumers to better choices for the environment and creating new markets for environmentally preferable products and services. 

Just last year, Summerhill helped Canadians save over 51 million kilowatt hours of energy.  And in 2010 alone, 238,214 Canadians participated in Summerhill programs.

 

» Summerhill Partners with HPBAC
Summerhill is a company that prides itself on being collaborative, innovative, and transformative.  And we`re not talking about a Michael Bay movie here. 

Matter of fact, Summerhill and HPBAC entered into a partnership agreement in April of this year to look at the process of funding and operating a wood burning change-out program in Ontario for launch in late 2011.  we are all aware of the similar programs that have been put in place in provinces like B.C. and many of the United States.

Summerhill Impact is currently undertaking a market review and stakeholder engagement, to develop a summary report for HPBAC-O which will include recommendations related to the necessary program design and implementation for a wood stove exchange program.  And they will be reporting on their findings, as well as other pertinent industry information at this year’s Fireside Symposium.
