Recycling

If you bought any of the items below at MEC, you can bring them back to our store for recycling:

• Batteries (no broken or corroded ones please).

Have a question about something that’s not on the list above? Give us a call or contact your local municipal recycling program.

When we build a store, we try to recycle or reuse buildings and/or building materials wherever possible. There were fewer opportunities to do this at our Calgary site than at our other stores, but we’ve found ways to improve where we can. Here are some of the green features:****

• To cut down on materials required, there are minimal floor and ceiling coverings.
• To let in as much natural light as possible, we have energy-efficient double-paned windows.
• Since there’s not a lot of natural light in this building, we use energy efficient fluorescent tubes for base lighting and have replaced some of the accent lighting with energy saving LED fixtures.

MEC aims to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impacts in our stores. Learn more about our green buildings.

If you’re shopping online, take advantage of this deal by calling your store to arrange an appointment to mount your bindings before you visit. Our ski techs get busy, and we don’t want to let you down.

Your local MEC store is more than just a place to get gear – it’s a hub for your outdoor community. From events and in-store clinics to community support, MEC has all kinds of ways to help you get outside:

Local events

Year-round, MEC offers low cost (or even free) clinics and workshops. Find MEC events near you see what’s happening in store, learn new outdoor skills from friendly staff instructors, and spark ideas for your next outdoor trip.

Outdoor Impact

Our push to give back to the outdoors stretches way back. Since 1987, we’ve contributed more than $48 million to Canadian outdoor recreation and conservation initiatives – and your support of MEC makes it possible. We invest in groups that are actively working to break down barriers of access and increase equity in the outdoors. Learn more about our Outdoor Impact program.

Climbing wall

MEC wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for climbing – it was the reason we started in 1971. So incorporating climbing into this store was an absolute must. Solution? A 26ft top rope climbing wall.

Use the wall to try out climbing shoes or bring your own pair to do some crushing. Available for use by local climbing clubs and community groups. Connect with our store team to book or check out events happening on the wall.

Free display space

Not-for-profit groups and local clubs that share MEC values can use our floor space to tell people what’s going on. Let people know about outdoor issues, collect input on plans, or just get the word out about your club.

For more info please email info@mec.ca or phone the store.
