Goodwill Impact Centres

In January of 2017, a new award-winning facility shaped the fabric of the Capital City Region, helping push sustainability to the minds of our community. In January of 2022, the AMAZING Edmonton Goodwill Impact Centre celebrates a milestone of FIVE YEARS of creating sustainable opportunities in the city of Edmonton.

As of April 15th, 2023, the Calagry Goodwill Impact Centre is already open and thriving, making a positive impact on the community with its sustainable initiatives.

“Just driving up to it you get a sense of the scale of what’s already happening and even more exciting the scale of what’s possible here. I’m a huge believer of social enterprise and this is industrial scale social enterprise which is fantastic to see.”

- Don Iveson

Former Mayor of Edmonton
