In 2007, the Unitarian Church of Calgary achieved recognition as a "Green Sanctuary". Being a Green Sanctuary is one of the ways we work toward a vision of healthier, more sustainable future.
Green Sanctuary is now a standing committee. Its goals are:
- To build awareness of societal environmental issues among Unitarians
- To generate commitment for personal lifestyle changes
- To motivate Unitarians to community action on environmental issues
- To build a connection between spiritual practice and environmental consciousness
- To build awareness of and rectify environmental injustices.
Among other activities, the community garden program at the church assigns raised beds to people wishing to raise their own vegetables.
