Our network

At its heart, Sierra Club Canada Foundation is a grassroots organization with a “think globally, act locally” philosophy. Members are encouraged to actively contribute to environmental causes that engage or inspire them, in a capacity that best suits their capabilities.

Working with a strong volunteer base and collaboratively with other organizations has allowed Sierra Club Canada Foundation to successfully engage in a range of environmental activities that directly benefit both people and the planet.
