Facility Manager Francis Laplante oversees the Green Committee as we follow the Path to Carbon Zero. We became certified at Level II of the Airport Carbon Accreditation program in Fall 2024.
Our collaboration with Hakai Energy Solutions, through the British Columbia Air Access Program, involved installing solar panels on our terminal roof. These 266 panels, each measuring 41" x 87", are expected to decrease the
terminal s reliance on the power grid by approximately 15% annually. Additionally, we initiated a composting program aimed at diverting food waste and restroom paper towels from the landfill, resulting in a monthly
reduction of 5.5 cubic meters. Furthermore, we replaced fossil fuel emitting ground maintenance tools with battery powered alternatives.
We have purchased 150 tonnes worth of carbon credits based on our support to the Great Bear Forest carbon project. This area of the BC North and Central coasts is home to the largest intact coastal temperate rainforest
remaining in the world. Without the offset funds, the protected areas would not have been established and harvest levels would not have been reduced. The 150 tonne credit represents the offset of the annual carbon emissions
produced by the airport, enabling us to become carbon neutral.
