OUR MISSION:

Together with the community, we work to protect the environment, mitigate climate change and create a healthier, more environmentally responsible city.

 
OUR VISION:

Everyone in Burlington recognizes that we are all connected to, and dependent on the environment, and acts on this understanding to ensure a good quality of life and a sustainable future.

 
OUR VALUES:

Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity— We embrace an inclusive community where individuals are valued, respected and empowered to reach their potential and endorse the ten commitments as presented in the Halton Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Charter.

Respect for Nature — We are a part of nature and must live in harmony with it.

Leadership — We provide positive, effective, and educational environmental leadership.

Integrity — We operate with transparency, accountability, professionalism and a solution focus.

Steadfastness — We stand by our convictions and persistently strive for our goals.

 
OUR GOALS & STRATEGIES:

 

Through awareness, advocacy, and action, we advance our mission and goals with a Strategic Plan to direct our impactful work. The plan emphasizes community participation and empowerment to support our overarching aim to create a much stronger culture of environmental stewardship among residents and all sectors in Burlington.

Celebrating 15 years of collective impact, we apply a solutions approach to address the climate and ecological crisis locally. Our sustainable mobility, zero waste and nature-based programming comprise our organization’s current strategic priorities.

As stewards of the earth, we have the responsibility to honour and respect the four directions, land, waters, plants, animals, and all of the wonderful elements of creation that exist.We honour all the First Nation, Métis and Inuit people who have been living on the land since time immemorial and we recognize their leadership in protecting and caring for Mother Earth.

In Burlington, our work with the community takes place within the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, represented by Treaty 14 and 19 and on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabeg (Ah-nish-in-nah-beg), Attawandaron (At-tah-wahn-da-ron), Haudenosaunee (Ho-den-oh-sho-nee) and Metis peoples.We honour these rightful caretakers of this sacred land surrounding the Great Lakes, and we are grateful for their teachings.

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.
