It’s refreshing to see a top ten list celebrating environmental sustainability and social change superstars. Since 2003 Tides Canada (Suite 360), a national public foundation, has selected ten organizations each year that have made great strides to build a more socially responsible planet. This year Tides found two of its recipients right at their doorstep in the Centre for Social Innovation (Suite 120 + 400): ForestEthics (Suite 425) and the Sustainability Network (Suite 128).
ForestEthics has created a revolutionary new approach to protecting endangered forests and the international organization was recognized by Tides for their effective campaigns that were instrumental in protecting some of Canada’s most vital forests and habitats. The Sustainability Network works with environmental non-profits to make them more effective and efficient and was recognized for their decade long achievement in capacity building for these groups helping them work smarter and become more effective in saving the planet.
