Burlingtongreen Environmental Association Inc.

BurlingtonGreen is a community-based non-partisan environmental charity founded in 2007 with a mission to empower the Burlington community to protect and care for the environment now and for the future. 2024 marked the completion of a new 5-year Strategic Plan for our organization with implementation underway on three priority focus areas: thriving nature low-waste living and sustainable communities. In addition to actively engaging the Burlington community thousands of volunteers (contributing 21 820 hours) participated in our various inclusive programs to achieve impactful results which were presented at our Annual General Meeting and highlighted on our website Impact page. A record number of partnerships took place during 2024 helping to grow community collaboration with extensive collective impact for a healthier environment. Nature-Friendly Burlington Make the Switch Community Clean Up Green Up Tree Planting Zero Waste Drop -off events Youth Network Event Greening Kids Go Green workshops and community outreach continued as key programming opportunities provided in 2024. As part of our new Strategic Plan priorities we launched a new city-wide campaign titled '200 000 Eco Actions by 2030' where Burlington community eco-actions are reported tracked and celebrated with an aim to inspire more of the population to recognize and act on efforts they can take to help the planet locally. We also hosted a new annual Volunteer Appreciation event that we plan to continue every June.
