Green Communities Canada is a national non-profit organization that is dedicated to supporting grassroots-led climate action. Through their leadership, connection, training, and funding initiatives, they empower communities to create sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. One of their primary programs focuses on promoting active transportation, specifically walking and wheeling to school.

By encouraging these modes of travel, Green Communities Canada aims to create safer school zones, improve air quality, and foster healthier children. Additionally, the organization provides resources and assistance for Canadian homeowners looking to accelerate deep energy retrofits in their homes. They offer guidance on the necessary steps for retrofitting, information on available incentives, and more, allowing homeowners to reduce their carbon footprint, save money, and increase home comfort.

Green Communities Canada is also committed to creating cooler cities through their National Mini Forest Pilot program, which aims to plant 2,800 trees in five pilot communities in collaboration with various partners. Overall, Green Communities Canada supports grassroots-led climate action by fostering leadership, facilitating connections, providing training, and offering funding opportunities.
