Thank You, Montana House!
We had a wonderful time sharing the Centennial Program through our presentation at the Montana House today! Two dozen or so people came to hear about the centennial planning, many of which had a interest in volunteering!
If you are not familiar with the Montana House, it is a year-round shop located in Apgar that is a venue for Montana Made goods. In addition, for over a year now, the Montana House has partnered with the Glacier National Park Fund to host a lecture series called: Look, Listen, and Learn.
If you have an interest in volunteering- let us know!

Glacier Centennial Green Business Program
As Glacier approaches its birthday, one of the goals is to embrace, celebrate and enhance many of the designations and partnerships. Glacier was designated a Climate Friendly Park in 2003. Climate Friendly Parks are tasked with designing and implementing a plan to help increase energy efficiency and reduce the impact of park operations.
One of the many centennial partners is the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA). NPCA and the Centennial Program are launching the Glacier Centennial Green Business Program. This program, launched on behalf of Glacier’s Centennial, will allow local businesses to reduce their environmental impact, resulting in a more efficient and sustainable means of doing business in our region.
Incentives to being a Glacier Centennial Green Business:
ü Recognition on the Official Glacier Centennial Website, Green Business page
ü Recognition in the Centennial eNewsletter
ü Glacier Centennial Green Business products: a decal to post in your business window, badge for your website, and logo for printed materials
ü Save money on a monthly basis through reduced energy use, solid waste handling, and transportation costs.
ü Recognition in your Chamber of Commerce newsletter
ü Potential Recognition at a Chamber of Commerce event
ü Recognition on the Crown of the Continent Geortourism website
Through collective action, Glacier Centennial Green Businesses will also help to reduce the environmental impact on our region; decrease the amount of unnecessary waste that goes into our landfill, reduce energy use, conserve water, and foster a healthy local economy by supporting local businesses.
