Winner

Rebuilt Resources

Sponsored by

Xstrata Nickel

Everything is community: individuals, organizations and staff.

It is this philosophy upon which North Bay’s Rebuilt Resources Skills Development Inc., a not-for-profit charitable organization, has flourished into a two-business enterprise - training and recycling. Today, it has evolved into a 14,000-square-foot facility that employs between 21 and 30 people annually, and re-sells and recycles about 1,120 tons of material a year, keeping thousands of tons of material out of the landfill sites.

Set up like a department store, Rebuilt offers used clothing, furniture, electronics, house wares, linens, sporting equipment, books, crafts, and a host of other items neatly displayed, dated and well-organized.
