About us
Founded in 1995, Green Communities Canada is a national non-profit association of 20 community-based environmental organizations working together for a vibrant, equitable and sustainable future. Our mission is to connect community-based climate action groups through a national network to share resources, inspire innovative programming, and elevate our collective impact. We know that working together is the only way to move the needle forward. GCC’s current program areas of focus are home energy efficiency, stormwater management and active transportation. Member organization work cuts across additional program areas including waste, food insecurity, climate education, and youth engagement. We also work to influence government policy, at all levels, as it relates to environmental and climate issues.

Yesterday, Vancouver City Council voted to strengthen its climate policies for new buildings. This move will continue the momentum underway in Vancouver's building industry and beyond. Healthy, energy efficient, zero carbon homes are here. They're affordable and come in all shapes and sizes. For our part, we'll continue to work closely with industry through our building decarbonization programs, supporting capacity building to help answer the call: B2E - Building to Electrification Coalition ZEBx CLF British Columbia | Carbon Leadership Forum

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. ❌️🟣 The date of November 25 was chosen to commemorate the lives of the Mirabal sisters from the Dominican Republic who were violently assassinated in 1960. The day pays tribute to them and urges global recognition of Gender-Based Violence (GBV). This day also begins the 16 Days of Activism Against GBV, an international campaign to call out and speak up, and to renew our collective commitment to ending violence against women, girls, and 2SLGBTQI+ individuals. In our work, we advocate for urban environments that reduce harassment, assault, and other forms of GBV. However, design alone will not address this ongoing crisis. We need everyone - across all genders and sectors - to take action. Together, we can effect change so that no one has to live in fear within their own communities. 💜 Visit our website to learn more about how to address gendered-violence in Canadian cities at https://lnkd.in/grQUFyv6
