Each year, the Sierra Club Canada Foundation (SCCF) hosts an Annual General Meeting (AGM) where we share reports on our activities and conduct essential business. Everyone is welcome to attend the meeting by zoom or conference call. The AGM is a compelling, community-building event where we hear about the work from our different Chapters and projects including updates from our sister organizations Sierra Club BC and Sierra Club (US).

Our Annual General Meeting is coming up, where you can chat with our wonderful staff about anything from water quality to rural transportation. Find us at Sunbury Shores Arts and Nature Centre next Tuesday, June 14th, between 4 and 5:30pm. We look forward to seeing you!

To make informed decisions around waterfront development proposals, stormwater management plans and environmental impact studies are often used to communicate the impacts of development from a western science perspective. But how about Indigenous science?

To further the efforts of the Ontario Professional Planners Institute's Indigenous Planning Perspectives Task Force, the Planning For Our Shorelands program presents Sustainable Waterfront Planning Through Reconciliation , a collaborative workshop discussing “land use planning” from an Indigenous perspective, the important role of vegetated shoreline buffers, and the collaborative nature of sustainability. This workshop is aimed at familiarizing local decision-makers with Indigenous relations to water and will engage the audience to reflect on ways they can take steps to include Indigenous voices in decision-making processes around waterfront development and planning.

Join Ed Michalik and Liz Weaver in a lively conversation about the challenge of ending a slow-rolling crisis. Ed will share lessons learned from the Northside, Cape Breton, a community struggling with harmful substance use, low trust, and crumbling institutions. He will explain how to identify a slow-rolling crisis and how difficult it can be to create a sense of urgency around solving it. Urgency and an endpoint are two critical factors in ending a slow-rolling crisis. They are often difficult to discern, which is why slow-rolling crises tend to linger.
