All CRB-approved buildings undergo a thorough audit carried out by independent third-party auditors before earning the right to become a Canadian Certified Rental Building.

These audits 📋 ensure regulatory compliance and operational practices are being met on an ongoing basis.

🌿 Environmental practices are also a foundation of the program. All CRB buildings are Living Green Together certified ✅

Property managers and their staff work together with residents to maintain safe, healthy, and green apartment communities. ♻️

Canada is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Businesses are expected to align their practices with this goal, reducing their carbon footprint and transitioning to more sustainable operations.

Given the importance of the natural resource sector in Canada (mining, oil, and gas), ESG factors, particularly environmental sustainability, are heavily scrutinized. Companies must navigate pressures for cleaner energy and responsible resource extraction.

ESG is increasingly shaping corporate strategy, investor expectations, and regulatory frameworks in Canada. Companies are expected to improve their environmental impact, foster positive social outcomes, and ensure strong governance practices.

1. Establish Clear Recycling Guidelines: Residents can collaborate with property management to create and distribute clear, easy-to-understand recycling guidelines. This can include posters or flyers that outline what materials are recyclable, how to properly sort items, and any local recycling rules. Education helps reduce contamination in recycling bins.

2. Set Up Recycling Stations: Advocate for the installation of convenient recycling stations throughout the community. This includes having separate bins for recyclables, compost, and general waste in common areas, such as hallways, parking lots, or near mailboxes, to encourage residents to recycle more effectively.

3. Organize Community Clean-Up Events: Residents can take the initiative to organize clean-up days where neighbors come together to collect litter and promote recycling. These events can include educational workshops on waste reduction and recycling practices, fostering a sense of community and shared responsibility.

4. Participate in or Initiate a Composting Program: Encourage the property management to implement a composting program for organic waste. Residents can start a communal compost bin in a designated area, teaching everyone about composting benefits and reducing the amount of organic waste sent to landfills.

5. Lead by Example: Residents can make a conscious effort to practice good waste management habits themselves. This includes properly sorting their own recyclables, using reusable bags for shopping, reducing single-use items, and sharing their practices on social media to inspire others in the community to follow suit.

By implementing these strategies, residents can significantly enhance waste management and recycling efforts in their apartment communities, leading to a more sustainable living environment.

Here's what you can count on when choosing to live in a CRB-approved building

✅ Quality Assurance: CRB-approved buildings are subject to rigorous quality assurance standards. This means that tenants can expect well-maintained properties, a high level of cleanliness, and consistent service. The certification gives renters confidence that the property is managed professionally.

🪴 Environmental Responsibility: Many CRB-certified buildings also participate in the "Living Green Together" environmental initiative, which means they are managed with sustainability in mind. This might include energy-efficient appliances, recycling programs, and efforts to reduce water usage.

👥 Tenant Focus: CRB certification emphasizes tenant rights and customer service. CRB-approved landlords follow a Code of Conduct, ensuring that tenant concerns are addressed promptly, and that the building follows best practices in leasing and maintenance.

🤝 Safety Standards: Safety is a major focus for CRB-certified properties, with mandatory adherence to fire safety regulations and regular safety audits. This commitment to safety provides an added layer of security and peace of mind for tenants.

Choosing a Canadian CRB-approved building means you’re more likely to have a positive rental experience with transparent practices, a focus on sustainability, and well-maintained facilities.

🧡 National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 🧡

Today, we pause to honor the survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities, and to remember those who never made it home. The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a time for all Canadians to reflect on the painful history and ongoing impacts of these institutions on Indigenous peoples.

Let's commit to learning, listening, and taking meaningful action toward reconciliation. Together, we can build a future rooted in respect, understanding, and healing.

Every Child Matters 🧡

🌿 Why ESG Matters for Canadian Renters 🌿

As a renter, you may not always think about the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices of your landlord or property manager, but they directly impact your living experience! 🏡

🏢 Environmental: Energy-efficient buildings mean lower utility bills and a smaller carbon footprint. Sustainable practices like recycling and water conservation create a healthier home environment.

🤝 Social: Fair treatment of tenants, including maintaining safe and affordable housing, is key. Landlords who prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion contribute to stronger, more vibrant communities.

🔍 Governance: Good governance means transparency, ethical behavior, and accountability. It ensures your rights as a tenant are respected and that issues are handled fairly and swiftly.

Choosing to rent from properties that prioritize ESG isn't just good for the planet—it's good for you! 🌍✨

Today, we remember... 🏙
On this day 23 years ago, the world witnessed an unimaginable tragedy. We honor the lives lost, the bravery of first responders, and the resilience of survivors. Let us take a moment to reflect on the strength that emerged from the darkness and the unity that brought us together. 🇺🇸

🌿 Here are five top sustainability tips for Canadian renters this fall:

1. 🌡️ Weatherproof Your Space ❄️
Seal windows and doors to prevent drafts, which can help maintain indoor temperatures and reduce energy use. Consider using draft stoppers, window insulation film, and weatherstripping.

2. 💡 Use Energy-Efficient Lighting ☀️
Switch to LED bulbs, which consume less energy and have a longer lifespan than traditional incandescent bulbs. Take advantage of natural light during the day to minimize the need for artificial lighting.

3. ♨️ Optimize Heating 🛏️
Use a programmable thermostat to regulate heating. Lower the temperature when you’re not home or at night to save energy. If you can, layer up with cozy blankets and sweaters to reduce reliance on heating.

4. ♻️ Minimize Waste 🗑️
Focus on reducing waste by composting organic materials and recycling properly. Be mindful of food waste by planning meals and using leftovers creatively. Opt for reusable containers and bags instead of single-use plastics.

5. 🚲 Choose Sustainable Transportation 👣
As the weather cools, consider alternatives to driving. Walk, bike, or use public transportation when possible. If driving is necessary, consider carpooling to reduce your carbon footprint.

There's less than a week away to enter for a chance to WIN a Conscious-Living Box filled with amazing eco-fodcused products! We love supporting local Canadian business who have a like-minded vision of a more sustainable tomorrow.
