Are you looking for ways to make a difference? Join our event greening team on July 1^st at the City of Burlington’s Annual Canada Day Festival. This will be the first Canada Day celebration in Burlington since 2019, and we are going to need YOUR help!

Volunteers will receive waste diversion training, spend the majority of their time under a shaded tent and have the chance to educate hundreds of festival-goers, making sure as little as possible is sent to landfill.

*Eligible for high school volunteer hours

I’m interested in being a Waste Ambassador this summer!

Acknowledging – Honouring – Acting

In Burlington, our work with the community takes place within the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and
we recognize this land as being home and the traditional territory to Indigenous people since time
immemorial.

We honour all past and present First Nation, Métis and Inuit people, and we recognize their leadership in protecting and caring for Mother Earth. We join them in honouring and respecting the land, waters, plants, animals, four directions, and all of the wonderful elements of creation that exist.

BurlingtonGreen has much to learn from Indigenous People and we encourage everyone to continually learn from and about the Indigenous community where you live, and how we can each meaningfully honour the calls to action for Truth and Reconciliation.
