Our climate solutions are helping communities across Eastern Ontario dramatically reduce their climate emissions.
Greener events don’t require perfection.
They do require thoughtful choices made within real-world constraints.
That’s the conversation behind Connecting the Dots on Greener Events.

Don't underestimate how many people walk, bike, and take transit to local events, activities and businesses. In this case study, only 33% of people at a community festival arrived by private automobile.
Better event decisions start with evidence, not assumptions.
This pilot with the Wellington West BIA explores how observing real behaviour can clarify which interventions actually matter.

This is good to see (and likely a reputable source 😉). Among major Canadian cities (pop. 500K+) Ottawa ranks #1. Among ALL Canadian cities, we rank #4. Some of the numbers don't seem right (transit time, avg. rent), but it's still good to rank so high. 1/ www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Earlier this fall, we tested an idea we couldn’t stop thinking about: what if live music became part of the commute?
Turns out, a little joy goes a long way. What should we pilot next?
