Each year BurlingtonGreen organizes a city-wide Community Clean up where residents get outside to clean up their neighbourhoods, schoolyards and parks. Each year, residents find LOTS of plastic bags. Bags in trees.
We respectfully acknowledge that our work with the community takes place on traditional Indigenous territories, of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, Six Nations of the Grand River and the Mississauga’s of the Credit, First Nation. This territory is part of the Dish with One Spoon Treaty, an agreement between the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.
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 caring for and sustaining Mother Earth. We respect the four directions, land, waters, plants, animals, and all the wonderful elements of creation that exist.
