Our Mission
Plenty Canada is a registered non-profit organization that facilitates access to and shares resources with Indigenous peoples and other community groups around the world in support of their environmental protection and sustainable development goals.
At Plenty Canada we recognize that people are part of the environment and we sustain healthy lives only when the environment as a whole is healthy. For us the environment and the bio-diversity of our environment is a precious treasure we need to protect.

Plenty Canada is launching its first Ethical Space youth training program! We are welcoming youth aged 14-25 to hear from leading thinkers and practice how we can work together respectfully across multiple cultures towards a just future.
This program kicks off with a live-streamed/in-person event on October 14, followed by five online webinars paired with facilitated discussions, plus a special hands-on workshop held between October-March via Zoom! The total time commitment to take part in this exciting new program is only 24 hours over a six month period.
The cost of participation, including a special mailed package, is covered for Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth across Canada!
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation Statement
September 30th, 2021
Today, on Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the Partners of The Healing Place | Tsi Tehshakotitsiéntha’ | Endaji mino-pimaadizin | Lieu de guérison are grieving past, and ongoing injustices against the First Peoples of Turtle Island and reflecting on how we can collectively make our journey towards healing.
The Healing Place — created in partnership between Algonquins of Pikwakanagan, Mohawks of Akwesasne, Algonquins of Shabot Obaadjiwan, Plenty Canada, South Nation Conservation, Ontario Power Generation, and Forests Ontario — is both a tree planting site on the traditional territories of the Algonquin and Mohawk Nations and a collaborative project centered around creating and maintaining a space of healing to help restore land, language, and relationships.
Rooted in values of ethical space and governance, The Healing Place project demonstrates how community members from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous backgrounds can come together and participate in the healing process of reconciliation, so that we may all learn how to engage in an equitable and just future together.

Indigenous communities in Peru and Guatemala are culturally strong and resilient, but they are facing dire conditions in the face of Covid-19. Grassroots initiatives are being led both in Peru and Guatemala within communities where Plenty Canada has developed strong relationships over the years. Many families are suffering from hunger and deprivation. Their lives have been severely disrupted by the pandemic and by the official restrictions on all travel. These initiatives are run by local Indigenous volunteers in an effort to help their extended communities. We need your support to uplift these communities by helping to provide lifesaving resources, at a time when they are most vulnerable.
