What our clients say
“In 2023, Canadian Geographic had the pleasure of collaborating with EnviroCentre to bring a highly successful and well-received Mini-Forest Summit to Ottawa. They helped fund, plan and staff the event, and moderated a panel. EnviroCentre brings knowledge, passion, and professionalism together to restore nature, reduce climate emissions, and engage, support and empower people to take action. It’s a privilege to work with them and we are looking forward to continuing to collaborate going forward.”
