St. Francis Xavier Students Live Greener and Support Honeybees

St. Francis Xavier Students Live Greener and Support Honeybees

TreePad.ca Staff

With the recent announcement that the town of Antigonish has set the goal of becoming Canada’s first net-zero emissions community, it’s not surprising that a local Real Estate company has been focusing on the environment for some time.  Henry J. Svec, the founder of Greener Project Development, explains the companies newly completed solar units, honeybee initiative, and Carbon Offset Program.

“We have seven student buildings that connect into Antigonish power that are now fitted with updated solar panels to offset the students’ use of electricity.  With modest conservation habits, the system is designed to generate all of the electricity the students will need from the sun.” 

“Students are also helping the honeybees.  With each month’s rent, we take a bit and put that toward converting our 50-acre farm in Ontario back to honeybees.  The project currently houses over 1 million honeybees for education,  research and environmental purposes.  The goal is to eventually provide hives to others wishing to establish honeybee sanctuaries or rescue centers.”

“We also take part of the monthly rent to continue to support our Carbon Offset program.  We have planted trees, wildflowers, and tallgrass prairie in Ontario on 50 acres and also purchased 250 acres of forest on the South Shore of Nova Scotia.  These initiatives are used to offset the tons of carbon our students would put out in their daily lives.  The goal is to live a great student life in Antigonish, go to an amazing University and leave no pollution footprint.”

“We look forward to balancing our business with the environment’s best interests and are excited about our upcoming developments in Wolfville and Western Head, Nova Scotia.”

TreePad Assists Client with Solar Initiative

TreePad Assists Client with Solar Initiative

Throughout the winter of 2021 TreePad has been assisting a client with the installation of Solar on 7 of their rental units in Antigonish Nova Scotia.

“It is our goal to continue to provide a high-quality home to our tenants, in keeping with respecting our dedication and founding goals of greener living. Solar generated power is fed into the system, and each building receives credits that they then use to offset their power consumption.”

TreePad researched companies and received numerous quotes but in the end went with Appleseed Energy to source and install the solar panels.

“As a company we pride ourselves on working with clients to get them the maximum return on their property investment. If that means researching and implementing a solar initiative – we are all in.” – Joshua Svec, Owner of TreePad Property Management.
