Our mission and key issues

Evergreen's Mission
Evergreen's mission is to bring communities and nature together for the benefit of both.

Evergreen's Vision
Evergreen envisions a sustainable society where individuals live in harmony with and contribute meaningfully to their local environment. Evergreen will be at the forefront of the movement to create this society, by empowering communities, by creating innovative resources and by transforming educational values.

Key Issues
At Evergreen, we believe that it is up to each of us to change the world. And we believe that we can help that happen. By enabling people to come together in their own communities (be it a school, a neighbourhood, an office or factory, a social agency—anywhere) we can help every Canadian Be the Root of Change.
