Green Venture started in 1994 and is an environmental non-profit organization in Hamilton focused on helping community members implement greener practices in their homes and communities to make our city a climate champion.

Among other initiatives, Green Venture helped introduce blue bins, community gardens, rain barrels and bike sharing in Hamilton. Originally envisioned as an environmentalism umbrella group formed by the Region of Hamilton-Wentworth in 1994, it has evolved and grown alongside the city in the past 27 years, solidifying into the multifaceted, community-minded organization it is today.
