Manitoba’s Green Living Hub

We’re here to help Manitobans find ways to improve the air quality in  our province and health of our planet. From workshops and events to  online resources, Green Action Centre strives to provide information for schools, households, workplaces, and community groups about Living Green and Living Well.

Green Living Resources for Manitobans

Sustainabilty Resources for Homes

At Green Action Centre, we do our best to integrate our work into our daily lives. Want to learn about backyard composting, or find some great new DIY ideas? Consider signing up for our monthly Living Green, Living Well newsletter or following us on social media.  As your ‘Green Living Hub,’ we’re here to help you make choices that improve your health, reduce waste, and connect with issues that improve your community.

Sustainability Resources for Workplaces

Our workplaces have an ecological footprint. Think of the resources consumed, the waste produced, cleaning products used, and the energy needed to run lights, heat and cool the work space, and operate equipment. Greening our workplaces has multiple benefits – reducing costs, increasing the comfort and efficiency of the work space, boosting the personal well-being of employees, reducing environmental impacts, and meeting the social responsibility goals of the business.

Sustainability Resources for Schools

A great deal of our programming is aimed at schools and educators, providing them with the resources and support to more deeply integrate sustainability education into their curricula and extracurricular programming. Interested in having our environmental educators present to your class? Want to start a walking school bus in your neighbourhood? Interested in composting at your school, or exploring waste reduction through hands-on activities with your students? We can help.

Sustainable Resources for Communities

Green Action Centre aims to provide a useful source of sound environmental solutions and thoughtful policy analysis. Whether you want to start composting in your community, ensure your kids are safe on their way to school, or develop a sustainability committee in your neighbourhood, we’d love to help! Keep an eye on our blog and events pages to stay up-to-date on the green actions we’re involved in, and drop us a line if you’d like to connect!
