Green building features
MEC North York is part of the co-op’s growing portfolio of high-performance green buildings. All MEC facilities are designed to meet these performance standards as part of our internal green building program.
The building incorporates key elements of MEC’s renewed architectural brand, including a distinctive floating canopy to mark the store’s entrance and wood-infused interiors to define the store and display merchandise.
Like all MEC buildings, MEC North York is operationally carbon neutral. The store is designed to be almost 50% more energy efficient than a comparable commercial building, based on Model National Energy Code for Buildings [MNECB] 1997.
Green building features includes a high-performance building envelope and heating, cooling and ventilation (HVAC) system, as well as extensive LED lighting. In addition:
- The high-performance building envelope includes structural insulated panels (SIPs), which allow for superior insulation and energy savings.
- The HVAC system features a heat recovery ventilator with underfloor air distribution, and energy-efficient heat pumps for heating and cooling.
- Energy-efficient LED lighting is installed in 80% of the retail areas.
MEC North York is spread over two floors, with a feature stairwell connecting the two levels. The space is marked by a saw-tooth roof lined with clerestory windows that flood the retail floor with natural light.
MEC North York meets the Tier 1 level of the Toronto Green Standard (TGS).
MEC aims to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impacts in all our stores. Learn more about our green buildings.

Community
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.
Free meeting room
It’s small, but it does the trick. Available for use by local outdoor clubs, environmental groups and NGOs that have a similar mandate as MEC. Please email at least a month before your event to reserve the space.
- Space: fits up to 30, large windows, natural light, wheelchair accessible
- Equipment: wall-mounted TV with HDMI, projector with HDMI input, mobile projector display (screen), dry erase whiteboard, MEC guest wi-fi
- Seating and tables: long tables, chairs
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.
