The award provides the winner with funding for innovative projects that do not meet "traditional" short-term return criteria, but show potential to improve sustainability performance, long-term financial returns and are replicable.</span></p><p>The pitch was for funding to install Smart Valves at Intercity Shopping Centre, New Sudbury Centre and Northgate Shopping Centre, aiming to reduce water usage and increase savings by 10-25 per cent.</p><p>The Smart Valve was designed to tackle issues seen in the management of water delivery, such as inaccurate measurement. In fact, 99 per cent of water meters in use measure by volume, meaning that any air volume gets wrongly billed as water. The Smart Valve works by keeping air in a dissolved state or reducing its volume as water passes through the meter, so that water usage is more accurately measured. By doing so, the Smart Valve is reducing over-delivery of water, which improves performance over time, representing a tangible long-term solution to outdated measurement methods.</p><p>Morguard is thrilled to have won this new recognition for the first time, highlighting the firm's continuous efforts to innovate and develop solutions to support its sustainability program. Innovations such as the Smart Valve support the acceleration of the transformation in the real estate industry to better support sustainability, that has passed from an emerging trend to a vital component of our business operation. </p><p>Congratulations to the operations management teams at Intercity, New Sudbury and Northgate! <br></p><p><br></p> | https://www.morguard.com/NewsAndResearch_/Pages/morguard-wins-leap-forward-award.aspx | | |

For these projects, Morguard has partnered with Alvéole, a people-focused initiative that helps build ecological awareness through urban beekeeping and workshops with businesses and schools. </p><p>Morguard is proud to have included bees as part of our sustainability activities over the past several years.

Up until the Spring of 2020, over 3,000 gift cards had been recycled.</li><li>Two honeybee hives were installed on the Coquitlam Centre's roof in May of 2020. At their peak in mid-July, the hives were home to between 80,000 and 100,000 honeybees.<br></li><li>Online paperless forms were introduced that allow the Guest Services Team and customers to fill out forms such as Stroller Rentals and Release Forms digitally instead of using paper forms. </li></ul><p>Congratulations to the Coquitlam Centre team for this high achievement and its commitment to the environment. <br></p><p><br></p> | https://www.morguard.com/NewsAndResearch_/Pages/coquitlam-centre-BOMA-platinum-certified.aspx | | |

In each celebration, we challenge stereotypes, fight bias and broaden perceptions about the role women play in society while celebrating their social, economic, cultural and political achievements. The 2020 event hosted by Morguard brought employees together to help create a gender-equal world through education and open discussions about the celebration's meaning and ways to encourage and honour women beyond the day in March.</p><p>Morguard has also found innovative ways to support women across communities. Initiatives such as BeYou empower and educate girls and young women across Canada, encouraging them to celebrate their growth, diversity and self-worth. To expand our work supporting women, our teams at 77 Bloor St. W., 65 Overlea Blvd. and 200 Yorkland Blvd. in Toronto donated honey and honey-derived goods produced at their bee hotels to The Redwood, a women's and children's shelter that received 150 beeswax candles and 300 lip balms and soap bars in late 2020.</p><p>Empowering women continues to be a priority that we will be proud to continue in 2021.<br></p><p><br></p> | https://www.morguard.com/NewsAndResearch_/Pages/empowering-women-at-morguard-and-in-the-community.aspx | | |

As a real estate developer, we have a significant impact on communities and, therefore, have a unique responsibility to contribute to their sustainability. <br></p><p><a href="https://www.alivingtribute.ca/" target="_blank">A Living Tribute</a> is an organization that was created in 2012 to connect people looking to have trees planted as living memorials or gifts with national reforestation projects. Each tree planting includes a sustainably sourced commemorative card that is stamped and mailed directly to the gift recipient. The plant-a-tree gift will help to restore areas of Canada that are in desperate need of reforestation and afforestation. <br></p><p>To learn more about Sustainable Morguard, visit <a href="/_layouts/15/FIXUPREDIRECT.ASPX?WebId=34df4250-cd2c-4a77-ac2f-305ac61b278e&TermSetId=5078c29a-2b54-4c64-bee4-5ba49b00096c&TermId=6bd0d196-a159-42ea-936e-5b43d9973e0a" target="_blank">here</a>.<br></p><p><br></p> | https://www.morguard.com/NewsAndResearch_/Pages/morguard-makes-tree-donation-for-earth-day.aspx | | |
