From May 31 to June 6, 2026, Canada is celebrating Environment Week, and here across Barrie, we have so much natural beauty to protect and cherish. Whether you're taking your usual commute or just stepping outside to enjoy the weather, nature is an undeniable part of our daily lives.
Calling all Ontarians! We know that taking care of the environment isn't just a global effort—it starts right here at home. From enjoying a quiet afternoon outside to exploring the region, our local spaces depend on our collective care.

Volunteering is a powerful way to connect with the world around us. If you love the outdoors, you might enjoy our animal care and environment opportunities. But building a sustainable future also means supporting our people and culture. You can mentor the next generation through our youth support programs, promote active living via sports and recreation, support local well-being through health and wellness roles, or even advocate for nature through arts and culture projects. Every effort builds a stronger foundation for our social and community services.
