Light House is located in the heart of Granville Island. Climb the stairs and you’ll enter the information and education centre. Here you will find books, displays, products, people and ideas that can help you make your home, place of work and community more manageable - more sustainable. Ask the staff as many questions as you like, or simply help yourself to a cup of tea and a book, sit down and take a moment to sustain yourself.

Light House delivers an array of resources for anyone interested in green building, from homeowners to architects to contractors. Their office serves as a visitors centre; it is a place to share knowledge and make connections. Inside you’ll find a large library of green products, exhibitions, and friendly staff to answer your questions. They host various speakers every Saturday, produce quarterly Market Insight Reports, offer a Green Building 101 non-technical workship for people wishing to green their home, provide healthy and eco-friendly home advisory services, as well as a Truly Green Home buying guide for those in the market for a new house. They are always working on new research, training, and initiatives.

Whatever your interest in green building, Light House is sure to be able to point you in the right direction and inspire you. Be sure to check out their website or pop in the next time you’re on Granville Island.
