In 1972, Henry Heinen and his wife, Greta, took over the company and introduced their innovative designs, creating Cross Country Greenhouses. Today, under the leadership of Rick Heinen, Kyle Exner, and Cody Heinen, BC Greenhouse Builders Ltd. delivers exceptional aluminum greenhouses to new markets while expanding offerings of commercial, custom, and luxury estate greenhouses all over the world.
At the heart of BC Greenhouse Builders lies a deep commitment to giving back. For years, the company has quietly supported numerous organizations dedicated to making a difference in our local community and beyond. Our enduring partnerships with groups like Lifewater Canada, Abreast in a Boat, Union Gospel Mission, and Hope Haven International have been upheld for over three generations.
The owners of BC Greenhouse Builders have never sought recognition for their charitable contributions. Their focus has always been on ensuring that those in need receive the help they deserve. However, Rick Heinen’s perspective shifted when he joined the board of the Centra Cares Foundation. Through this role, Rick gained a deeper understanding of the organizations in his community, connected with individuals passionate about their causes, and witnessed firsthand the positive impact of the foundation’s donations.
As Rick’s term with the Centra Cares Foundation came to an end, BC Greenhouse Builders embarked on an exciting journey of relocating to a new, larger facility. The thriving business had outgrown its previous space after 25 years, and this new building represented not just physical growth but also an increased passion to help the community. Amidst this transformative phase, Rick recognized the opportunity to continue supporting the community to show gratitude for those who have strengthened BCG over the years. This led to the inception of the Beyond BC Greenhouse Charitable Foundation, a platform for continuing to connect and help organizations through our entire BCG Family – employees, friends, and family alike.
Beyond BCG now collaborates with local organizations to provide essential resources like food, shelter, and water while also championing mental health initiatives, fostering relationships, and creating opportunities for youth. While this is a new chapter in their story, Beyond BCG is already poised to push boundaries and reach new heights in their mission to unite the community and make a positive impact.
