The Green House has two sponsors...
Lafarge, who has supported them financially, and Hyatt Regency Calgary, who has provided them with guest resources.

Lafarge Canada Inc.  

The Lafarge story began 167 years ago…
More than a century and a half in which a small family business has gradually carved out its destiny. Through external growth, entries onto foreign markets, and innovations, Lafarge has continuously built-up its positions world-wide. Who would ever have imagined that a small limeworks created in 1833 at the foot of Mount Saint Victor, between Viviers and Le Teil near the Rhône River in southern France, would become the world leader in building materials?

World leader in building materials, Lafarge holds top-ranking positions in all four of its divisions – Cement, Aggregates & Concrete, Roofing and Gypsum. In 2000, Lafarge reported sales of EUR12.2 billion, and today, with 66,000 employees, it operates in more than 70 countries. Lafarge’s growth policy is defined in the context of a strategy of sustainable development. The group’s expertise in efficient industrial processes generates value, protects the environment, shows respect for societies and cultures and is sparing in its use of natural resources and energy. By focusing on the development and advancement of building materials, Lafarge places the customer at the cote of its strategy and offers the construction industry and the general public innovative solutions that will bring more safety, comfort and beauty to our everyday lives.

Organized in three operating groups corresponding to Construction Materials, Cement, and Gypsum, Lafarge Corp. proposes a wide range of products. Not only one of North America’s largest producers, the subsidiary is also one of the most diversified. In building, civil engineering, road building, maintenance and renovation, Lafarge plays a part at every level, meeting all the market’s expectations and satisfying all its demands. Operating in most regions of the United States and in every province in Canada, it numbers over 700 sites and employs more than 10,000 people.
