Simply Wedding NL
Simply Wedding NL is an early-stage social enterprise that provides eco-friendly and affordable wedding decoration services to Newfoundland and Labrador couples. Simply Wedding NL aims to tackle two main problems in the bridal community: (i) waste and (ii) rising wedding costs.
The average wedding cost in Canada has risen to $30,000, an increase of 30% from 2022. Wedding ceremonies and receptions unfortunately create a tremendous amount of trash. With over 145 000 weddings happening per year in Canada, and each producing nearly 400 pounds of waste, over 68 million pounds of wedding-related waste is sent to landfills across our country.
Simply Wedding NL’s next green project envisions the creation of a “Newfoundland and Labrador Bridal Wedding Decoration Inventory Hub” where local couples can rent refurbished decorations and reception items at an affordable price, and newlyweds can donate their used decorations.
Avalon Homesteading
We are a Newfoundland based company and supply the island with beekeeping equipment, vermicomposting equipment and natural soil enhancers. We are also part of the Provincial Food Network and offer a number of courses in the various aspects of small scale growing. We have accommodations on site which offers people a chance to come and stay on the farm and experience what we do firsthand.
Cottle’s Island Lumber Co Ltd
Cottle’s is a vertically integrated sawmill that harvests, transports, performs primary breakdown of logs into lumber, wood chips, sawdust, and bark. Cottle’s lumber is further manufactured to create value added products such as paneling, flooring, and siding. In addition, residuals from the sawmill (sawdust) and logging operations (hardwoods) are used to make home heating products such as wood pellets, and split and dried firewood.
