Ontario municipalities are
at the front lines of the transition to a conserver society -- and
an active network of community groups and leaders is a key tool.
Our goal, as a start, is for every major municipality in Ontario to
have developed a community conservation network and a community
action plan.
Use our Community Action map to
see if your municipality or community is organized to
support community action.
There's more than one way to organize, and in
fact there are several great organizations that
can help you get your municipality or community
organized for action
Here's who we are tracking:
 Community
Conservation Networks
In the early 1990's, the Conservation Council of
Ontario developed a low-cost five step approach
to community action it's a highly adaptable
model that builds on existing resources and
strengths in the community. They include
the intensive
Live Green Toronto
community animation project to the long
running and low-cost community workshops under
the
Cambridge City Green
Strategy.
 Ontario
Healthy Communities
Coalition
The Ontario Healthy
Communities Coalition was founded in the late
1980's to connect environment, society and
economy as part of a complete approach to a
healthy community. OHCC advises
communities across the Province.
 Green Communities Canada
Green Communities Canada
has been active since the early 1990's.
GCC develops programs that are delivered through
member organizations that are a local centre of
excellence in communities across Canada.
