Gather at Deshkan Ziibi/Thames River for three days of indoor and outdoor talks, walks, activations, and art focused on river ecology, hydrology, culture, history, conservation, and gender and social justice. 

Our monthly challenge to go plogging for 30 minutes a week is up, and we're sharing our results with you. How did we do? What did we learn? We'll also be getting down to the shocking stats about litter and how it ends up in our environment. But - it doesn't have to be this way. Plogging does have a positive impact, and it becomes even stronger when more people do it. 

Where History Meets the Future

When you enter the building, there’s an immediate sense of something special, hidden beyond sight, an afterimage of history sleeping in the warm scent of pine, swaddled in the energetic potential of change on the horizon.

Here the intersection of past and future is rising in the old Novacks building where a bustling community of volunteers and community animators work to create a space where ideas around waste and consumption can flourish, and a community can form.

GCO is now hiring an Education Projects and Volunteer Coordinator to lead our education staff and bring our project portfolio to life. Through their commitment to learning and growth, the Education Projects and Volunteer Coordinator will fulfill an integral role within GCO.
