Millennium Water: SEFC is officially the "greenest, most energy efficient and sustainable neighbourhood on Earth." The Canadian Green Building Council announced the LEED Gold certification of all residential buildings on the Millennium Water site. In addition, the US Green Building Council awarded LEED Platinum ND to the community as a whole, one of the first two neighbourhoods in North America to ever attain this level of certification.

This esteemed certification reflects the dedication to sustainable community development that is found throughout the Millennium Water: SEFC community, and is a truly commendable achievement for all those who were a part of the planning, design and construction process.
