Laying the Foundation for a Sustainable Regional Economy

Green Economy South Georgian Bay is a strategic first step toward developing an innovative, locally tailored approach to building a sustainable economy in our region. Grounded in collaboration and a multi-sector partnership model, this initiative seeks to align environmental responsibility with economic resilience.

​

By identifying and amplifying what’s already working, and testing new ways to support local businesses, we will be positioned to build a long-term, high-impact model.

The Collingwood Climate Action Team is based on the traditional territory of the Haundenosaunee and Anishinabek peoples and, specifically, unceded Saugeen Ojibway territory. Our ancestors established a treaty relationship and responsibility with the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation and Saugeen First Nation, collectively the Saugeen Ojibway Nation (SON) - which we strive to uphold today. We are thankful for the opportunity to benefit from the continuing protection and stewardship of the land, air and waters by Indigenous Peoples who have protected them for thousands of years. This area we now call home is also home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples with whom we wish to work together towards truth and reconciliation.
