We are a network of parents, guardians, grandparents, and allies, living on unceded Indigenous territories across the country known as Canada. 

We are fighting for a better world for our kids and grandkids. Our vision is a green, equitable, and just world where our children and grandchildren grow up safe and healthy. But we know that in order to get there, we need to come together to advocate for it.

Please consider becoming a member and getting involved in a team near you, or starting a team yourself. No expertise is needed to join—just love for our kids and grandkids. You'll be a part of a supportive community figuring it out together. See what teams in the network do, here.
