OUR VISION
Together, we envision a thriving and environmentally sustainable Kincardine community where synergy and partnerships among the community, businesses, schools, and residents create a collectively positive impact.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to empower the community through resource building, and environmental advocacy, accelerating Kincardine transition towards living sustainably. We aim to foster a community where every action, big or small, contributes to preserving our environment for current and future generations.
2026 GOALS
Blue Communities: Encourage the Municipality of Kincardine to revise its event policy to ban the sale of bottled water and support the installation of a larger network of outdoor bottle-filling stations.
Yard Naturalization: Support the community during the Municipality’s review of yard bylaws by sharing education on the harmful impacts of invasive plants and the environmental and climate benefits of native plants.
Repair Café: Build local repair skills, promote wise use of resources, and reduce waste by keeping reusable items out of landfill.
Community Partnerships: Strengthen collaborations with local organizations, schools, businesses, and municipal partners to advance shared environmental goals.
Circular Economy: Promote a circular economy through expanded Blue Box recycling, Terracycle programs, and increased access to second-hand, reuse, and repair options within the community.
