“Target Zeroing In” on Green House Gas and Operating Costs

Posted on Apr 26, 2013 by The Forks Market

With winter almost over, we are “Target Zeroing in” on a couple of projects that are nearing completion. Two Down, One To Go: Make-Up Air Units Removed From Forks Market Roof

Taking Green to the Next Level

Posted on Nov 05, 2012 by The Forks Market

We’ve got an impressive goal with our Target Zero initiative: zero garbage, zero water consumption and zero carbon emissions. This year, we saw some real green when it came to this initiative, both environmental and cold, hard cash.

Located at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, The Forks (also known as Nestawaya in Cree) has been a meeting place for over 6,000 years – located on the original lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Lakota peoples and resides in the homeland of the Red River Métis. This place also has deep ties with Dene and Inuit peoples, operates with water from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, and has welcomed people from all walks of life to trade, visit, and build community. In this spirit, all staff and administration here respect the Treaties that were made on these territories, acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past, and dedicate ourselves to move forward in partnership with Indigenous communities in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
