As of 2019, George Brown College's Centre for Hospitality and Culinary Arts is proud to be LEAF Certified (www.leafme.org) at Level 2 through our positive efforts to become an environmentally-friendly and sustainable food service establishment. This certification covers the entire Chef School facilities and operations as well as retail locations at The Cafe and The Chefs House restaurant. This process enabled the school to understand its baseline performance from a sustainability perspective and develop strategies to enhance its sustainability practices as we work towards a Level 1 certification next!
