Generation Green Winter Webinars

Why should we focus on Active Transportation?

Register at: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/generation-green-december-webinar-series-tickets-216308704157

Transportation is one of the leading contributors of greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution in Halton and around the world. Given its role in the climate crisis – changing how we move around can have big impacts on our community.

Reducing the burning of fossil fuels for transport will help reduce the rate of climate change and the severity of the impact of climate change, but what does that mean for us?

Let’s drive climate action, not cars! Show our community why we’re Generation Green!

Join Special Guests speakers to learn more about how Halton is committed to making our cities greener, healthier and more prosperous places to live.

As a community, we have the responsibility to honour, care for and respect all the Creation gives to provide us with life. This includes the land, water, air, fire, animals, plants and our ancestors.

The Anishinabek Peoples have utilized this land for millennia and we would like to acknowledge their direct descendants, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, as the rightful caretakers and titleholders of this land upon which we live, work and conduct ourselves. We acknowledge our treaty relationship and responsibilities to both the land and these original peoples.

We also recognize that this land is rich in pre-contact history and customs, which includes the Anishinabek and Haudenosaunee and since European contact, has and continues to become home for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. And it is in the spirit and intent of the Dish With One Spoon, wampum agreement whereby we will collectively care for and respect the land, water, animals and each other in the interests of peace and friendship and for the benefit of not only ourselves but of our future descendants.  

The HEN Office resides on Treaty 22, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. For more information on Treaty 22 go to: http://mncfn.ca/treaty2223/
