Our Collective Responsibility
Ever since our inception, we’ve earned our place as a leader in our industry – not only in the events we hold, but also in the way we interact with our community and minimize our environmental impact.
We believe it is our collective responsibility to work together in being a safe gathering place for our employees, community, clients, and delegates.
We’re Rainbow Registered – the first convention centre in Canada to be registered
The CTCC is a Rainbow Registered business – a nationally recognized accreditation of high standards for 2SLGBTQI+ friendly workplaces and businesses. We are proudly inclusive and welcome people of all orientations and identities into our facility – as staff, guests, hosts, and any other role.
We’re a Living Wage Employer
We’re proud to have earned our status as a recognized Living Wage Employer by the Alberta Living Wage Network. We believe that our employees should be able to thrive, ultimately becoming more active in the community and contributing to a rich, vibrant culture in the city.
We’re Green Key Certified and committed to sustainability
- In 2022, we became Green Key Certified, which demonstrates our significant advances toward protecting the environment. We have implemented strong environmental programs, best management practices, additional training, and engineering solutions in order to benefit our environment and our local community.
- We were the first building in the province to be certified by the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) Go Green program, showing our commitment to sustainability for over 25 years.
- We focus on five key areas of sustainability within our operations: resource consumption, waste reduction and recycling, building materials, interior environment, and tenant awareness.
- In 2018, we received the National Air Filtration Association (NAFA) Clean Air Award for the quality of our indoor air.
- With the use of solar panels, reduction of electrical consumption, low-flow water fixtures, extensive recycling and reduction programs, and renewable green power, we have created an eco-friendly facility for all our guests to enjoy.
