Walking the Walk
Just as Kootenay Co-op Grocery Store encourages customers to repurpose organic produce trimmings for their gardens, we at High Caliber believe in putting sustainability into action at every level of our business.
Some of the changes we’ve made over the years to reduce waste and our environmental footprint include:
- Offering digital versions of recipes and booklets to reduce paper usage
- Providing reusable totes instead of disposable bags
- Using minimal packaging wherever possible
- Carefully packaging online orders to reduce the number of boxes shipped
- Creating product package sizes our customers will actually use, to help reduce waste and improve long-term value
Every step—no matter how small—adds up to a more mindful, more sustainable future.
Quality That Stands the Test of Time
Sustainability also means investing in quality products that last—and making sure they’re the right products for the job.
At High Caliber, we:
- Carefully research and test the tools and equipment we sell to ensure they match the application, whether for a domestic kitchen or a small-to-medium processing operation
- Offer a broad range of equipment options, helping customers avoid overbuying or using the wrong tool for the task
- Work with long-term vendor partners who share our commitment to value, durability, and responsible practices
- Stock the appropriate parts to get machines back up and running quickly
- Maintain access to a wide inventory of replacement parts, extending the lifespan of every piece of equipment
We also service and repair the equipment we sell—because getting the most out of your gear is the most sustainable choice of all.
Empowering Local Communities
Sobeys’ Food Hero app and partnerships with local charities showcase the power of community-focused sustainability. At High Caliber, we’re equally passionate about supporting the people and values that shape our region.
We proudly:
- Partner with local businesses whose values align with ours—like Blondie Que BBQ Rubs & Spices, made right here in Alberta with flavors inspired by local traditions
- Hire talented professionals from our area who bring real-world experience and align with our company’s high standards
- Maintain long-standing partnerships with like-minded organizations like the Alberta Conservation Association, Harvest Your Own, AHEIA, and Fish & Game associations—all working to support healthy, outdoor lifestyles that are rooted in stewardship and community
- Celebrate over 25 years of collaboration with CTR Refrigeration, and continue to support charitable organizations and youth sports throughout the province
