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.

At Hyatt, we believe a great
hotel should offer more than a good night's sleep. It should create an
environment that awakens your senses. It's one of the many intangible
qualities you'll experience at every Hyatt hotel.
