The finalists for the newly expanded
Green Toronto Awards have been announced for 2011.
In the Green Design category Architects Alliance (for the
Sackville-Dundas Apartments, part of the Regent Park revitalization), the
Leon's furniture store at the Roundhouse, and
Modrobes are up for the award, which according to the prize committee "rewards leadership in infrastructure, architecture of industrial design which complies with the principles of sustainability."
Finalists for the new Green Home award, which recognizes individual residents who are doing remarkable work on their own homes, are Anthony Ketchum,
John Tabone and Lynn Brady.
The prizes will be $5,000 to continue the winners' green efforts, or to donate to whichever environmental charity they like. Winners will be announced at the Green Living Show on April 15.
