Business groups green-certified
The Vancouver Island Green Business Certification Program has certified the Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce, Downtown Victoria Business Association and Tourism Victoria after each group demonstrated its commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. The chamber was certified in May after undertaking several green initiatives within its offices, the DVBA has done the same and organized the 2017 Buskers Festival, which was its first carbon-neutral event. Tourism Victoria will be co-hosting a national conference on sustainability and innovation in tourism this month.
