"Sustainability is a driving force at MEC, and the Burlington store will be developed to our rigorous green building standards," said Robinson.
MEC plans to construct its greenest building to date and to meet at least the gold standard of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)green-building rating system.
Site planning and design work are underway. The goal is to begin construction in time to complete major foundation and concrete work before freeze-up this fall.
Approximately 80 people will be employed at the Burlington store once it is open. The staff complement will increase during holiday and seasonal peaks.
The store will be the outdoor retail co-operative's third store in Ontario (after Toronto and Ottawa) and its twelfth in Canada. MEC also operates a bilingual transactional website mail order service and corporate and group sales program.
