Kiwanis North Shore Housing Society.
Kiwanis is the primary provider of below-market rental housing for adults 55+ in North and West Vancouver. It currently operates 744 apartments in eight buildings.
In the last couple of years, they have completed or initiated projects involving gas absorption heat pumps and domestic hot water boiler replacement with solar hot water.
Recognition is important.
Established in 2018 and reimagined for 2026, the Energy Conservation Leader Award recognizes a non-profit housing provider for leadership in environmental stewardship, climate resilience, and sustainability. The award celebrates exemplary energy efficiency and conservation, sound energy and asset management strategies, strategic investment in conservation and resilience-focused projects, and a demonstrated commitment to reducing climate-related risks while inspiring others to use energy responsibly.
Nomination criteria.
Recipients for this award are selected by BCNPHA based on energy retrofit projects and energy conservation data.
Energy efficiency and conservation is tremendously important not just only for Kiwanis but I think for all non-profit housing providers.
