The NCVA has enrolled in terra20’s Saving For Change program, which offers members a discount on terra20 merchandise.  By enrolling in this program as an NCVA member, you will save 10% on every regularly priced item in-store and while shopping at terra20’s online store, which offers more than 8,000 products. terra20 will also refund 2% of the total purchase amount made by NCVA members to support the association eco-initiatives.

terra20 is an Ottawa-based retailer, with North America’s largest selection of healthy and sustainable products under one roof, including personal care, electronics, household goods, apparel, home décor and much more.  Keep an eye out for the “Contains No Bunnies” icon which signifies that a product is vegan. The beaker icon indicates products that are free of 27 problematic chemicals (although all products at terra20 are vetted to be free of the 15 worst offenders, and to also not be tested on animals.)

The first location is a 15,000 sq. ft. flagship store beside Ikea. terra20 is opening a second location on Nov. 2 at 1304 Wellington Street W.

The enrollment process is easy –

• To enroll in-store – simply visit the guest services desk in the store, identify yourself as a NCVA member by presenting your membership card or this email on your smartphone or in printed form. From there, you can quickly build a profile, and immediately begin to make purchases at the 10% discount
•  To enroll online – simply click here and follow the instructions;  your profile will require two business days to become active.
