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.

​​Greetings from Plenty Canada
3/7/2022
There are many motivations behind what we do at Plenty Canada. Some of these are driven by the urgent need to preserve biodiversity. Our plant and animal relatives have as much right to live and thrive as we do. The current rates of biodiversity loss exceed the historical past by several orders of magnitude. This must not continue. We are also driven by matters of equity and justice, particularly those involving Indigenous peoples. Health, education, language retention, these are all subjects that are critically important to us as evidenced by the projects we undertake. And we try our level best to embrace and advance our motivations within a social and institutional culture that nurtures and supports the growth and development of youth, of our precious resource, our current and future generations.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
​9/30/2021

The brilliant hues of orange shirts spoke volumes on Sept. 30 as Lanark County sombrely marked the inaugural National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
​
A crowd gathered outdoors at the county’s administration building in Perth to observe and reflect on the first federal statutory holiday, created to acknowledge the trauma suffered by Indigenous people as a result of the residential school system. The country has been reeling since the May discovery of 215 graves at a former residential school site in Kamloops, B.C. A total of 5,000 graves have been unearthed across the country.

​Urgent Covid-19 Relief for Indigenous Communities in Peru and Guatemala

Picture
Community members from a Q’eqchi Mayan community in Guatemala displaying a white flag. Our partners there, have launched this initiative where families suffering from hunger or have a sick relative in the home can put up a white flag so that community volunteers can find them and help.
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.
