About Us
Plenty Canada is an Indigenous-led registered non-profit charitable organization, founded in 1976, that works to unite Indigenous and Western knowledge systems through the frameworks of Ethical Space and Two-Eyed Seeing, using both knowledge systems to solve problems for the benefit of all.
Our headquarters is based on Algonquin territory, near Lanark, in Eastern Ontario, where we are developing the Plenty Canada CampUs, a land-based learning centre from which we will continue providing the next generation with opportunities to engage in cross-cultural programming.
Plenty Canada's staff and board members comprise a diverse group of professionals who understand the relationship between the people and the land. We have an established record of successful work for nearly 50 years.
Some of Plenty Canada’s current projects include:
