OUR MISSION:

Together with the community, we work to protect nature, 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. You can learn more about BurlingtonGreen’s commitment to EDI here.

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.

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.
