Ready to take climate action?
Transition Salt Spring’s bold new Climate Action initiative will support islanders to take impactful actions and create the future we want. Fuelled by the strength of data, our networked, hands-on approach is about mustering our collective energy to take on the most formidable challenge of our lifetimes.
The heart of our organisation is a dedicated board and part-time staff. The body of TSS is a TON of volunteers in our committees and working groups.
If anyone can tackle the wicked problem that is climate change, it’s this amazingly switched-on, caring Salt Spring Island community. We are your neighbours, your co-workers, your friends. We are scientists, educators, and creative thinkers.
But to change everything - we need everyone.
