Flags Unlimited Wins Award

It was a great celebration two weeks ago when Flags Unlimited was named the winner of the Green Project Award at the Bell Canada Business Awards Gala.

“This award recognizes the efforts our entire Team has undertaken in 2008 to develop environmentally friendly processes. Specifically, the separation, baling, and recycling of our waste fabric means that on an annual basis an equivalent of almost 115,000 27” x 54” flags NO LONGER go to the local landfill. This recycled fabric is reclaimed and currently is used in making selected pieces of furniture by a regional manufacturer.

Thank you to all Team Members for making this project viable and sustainable. Special thanks to Andrew Sorlie who spent considerable time researching recycling options for this project. Everyone should take pride in this achievement. I certainly take pride in everyone at Flags Unlimited,” Dennis said.

Winning the award is a great affirmation of all the hard work and effort put into our green program and now we have been recognized publicly for our changes.

The award is currently on display in Dennis’ office.
