Organization Description

Transition Salt Spring Society is the only organization on Salt Spring devoted exclusively to addressing the climate crisis. Our focus is on mobilizing islanders and the organizations that serve them to lower emissions and help prepare for the increasing climate change risks faced by our community and our ecosystems. To get there, we all need to paddle together. The climate crisis requires us to collaborate in new ways from the individual to the organisational level.

We work on climate action on Salt Spring Island through leading various projects, hosting educational events, supporting networking and collaboration, supporting our working groups, and advocating for a more resilient island. We work with local businesses, government, nonprofits, First Nations and you to bring climate action to the forefront of everyday decision-making. Transition Salt Spring's initiatives are driven by the Salt Spring Island Climate Action Plan and its 250 recommendations for change in how we get around, build, eat, grow, and live in relationship to our freshwater and forest ecosystems.
