Our Sustainability Story
At Niagara Falls Convention Centre, we are deeply committed to sustainability and our core social responsibility. We recognize that our actions have a significant impact on the environment and the local community. Therefore, we have implemented a range of initiatives across our facilities, operations, food and beverage services, engineering, and human resources to ensure that we operate in an environmentally responsible and socially conscious manner.
Locally & Responsibly Sourced
A Sustainable Menu
At Niagara Falls Convention Centre, we’re committed to making sustainable choices easier for both our clients and the planet. That’s why we’ve partnered with Klimato, a trusted third-party service, to assign clear carbon emissions ratings to our sustainable menu items. These ratings give you the tools to:
✔ Make informed food choices
✔ Lower your event’s carbon footprint
✔ Support a healthier, more sustainable future.
The best part? Our sustainable menu items are priced in-line with our standard offerings, so aligning your event with your values doesn’t mean stretching your budget. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing, even choosing one lower-impact meal, like a sustainable breakfast or lunch, can make a meaningful difference.
Building Bridges In Our Community
Food Recovery Program
In 2023, NFCC signed on to The Bridge Food Recovery Program to minimize food insecurity, and to make a difference in our community. Through this meaningful partnership, surplus food from events held at our Convention Centre is safely collected and redistributed to those in need throughout the local community. The Bridge Food Recovery Program not only helps reduce food waste but also strengthens our commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. By working together with dedicated organizations like The Bridge, we're proud to support a more inclusive and caring Niagara one meal at a time.
Built For The Future
LEED Certified
In 2011, the Niagara Falls Convention Centre was proudly constructed as a Silver Level LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) facility, officially recognized by the Canada Green Building Council. This designation highlights more than just our building’s design, it reflects our long-standing dedication to creating a venue that minimizes environmental impact while maximizing efficiency and comfort for our guests. From energy conservation and water efficiency to responsible material selection and indoor air quality, every aspect of our facility was carefully considered to meet the rigorous international standards of LEED certification.
Let There Be Light
Natural Light
Every detail of our Convention Centre was designed with intention, and natural light plays a central role in that vision. Expansive windows allow sunlight to pour into meeting spaces, creating bright, inspiring rooms that feel both comfortable and inviting. This architectural choice not only elevates the guest experience, but also aligns with our strong commitment to sustainability. By maximizing daylight and reducing reliance on artificial lighting, we are able to lower electricity consumption, lessen our environmental footprint, and create a space that balances innovation with environmental responsibility.
