Safe Flight Program
Each year in Canada, approximately 10 million night migrating birds needlessly meet their death by colliding into office towers and tall structures. Confused by artificial light and unable to see glass, these birds fall victim at an alarming rate particularly during peak migration seasons.
In a nationwide initiative to help reduce the number of migratory bird casualties in urban centres, Brookfield has instituted the “
Safe Flight” program. We ask all Brookfield Place Tenants to join us in this effort by complying with the following procedures:
- If you are working late during peak migration seasons, i.e. mid-March to early June in Spring, and mid-August to early November in Fall, we encourage you to use task lighting instead of overhead lights.
- During migration season, draw your blinds to help deter birds from colliding with windows.
- Encourage your staff to remove plants that are directly in front of windows.
- Encourage your staff to use internal office space when working late.
