Green Turtle chosen for Ontario's Green Schools Pilot Initiative

TORONTO, March 17 /PRNewswire/ - The Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation has announced that Green Turtle's Reflo rainwater harvesting solution will be installed in two Ontario school buildings as part of their Green Schools Pilot Initiative.

After completing an evaluation of companies that develop, manufacture and market innovative green products the Ministry of Research and Innovation invited Green Turtle to participate in the Initiative. Soon after that, the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board and the CSD catholique de Centre-Est de l'Ontario then chose Reflo for two of their schools.

The HWCDSB has chosen to install the rainwater harvesting system at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Carlisle, Ontario. "We thought this community would be a perfect fit. We want to be green," said Morris Hucal, HWCDSB's principal of elementary programs. "We have an opportunity to really be pioneers in this technology. We should celebrate this because this is a wonderful opportunity to educate others about it."

"Green Turtle is honored to be part of this cleantech program that will make Ontario's schools greener," stated Rob Abernethy of Green Turtle Canada. "This will allow us to showcase the innovative Reflo system to Ontario schools and to other institutional, industrial, and commercial customers interested in helping the environment and in saving money." He added.

Green Turtle provides building developers with commercial-grade rainwater harvesting systems that ensure the most cost-effective solution for their project. Green Turtle provides a single source of supply for the design, equipment and installation of state-of-the-art rainwater filtration, disinfection, storage and distribution systems.
