AND THE WINNER IS...

For the second straight year, Roots was a sponsor of the Green Toronto Environmental Awards which celebrate leading companies, organizations and individuals who contribute to making the city a better place to live from an environmental perspective.

In early May, Toronto Mayor David Miller hosted a special VIP reception and ceremony at City Hall where awards were presented to the winners who also received $5,000 each to donate to the environmental organization of their choice.

Roots, which underwrote the prize in the Green Design category, was one of the original sponsors of the Green Awards when they were first launched in 2005. Don Green took part in the event, presenting the Green Design Award to the Toronto Botanical Garden.
