Green Communities Canada is a membership organization.

A membership organization is, in many ways, a service organization: looking after the needs of its members and providing resources and supports that increase collective impact.  

As a formal membership organization, GCC is governed with contribution from our members. They do this by electing the Board of Directors, approving changes in the by-laws, and authorizing major structural transitions. 

Our members also have unique benefits that are only available to them, including: 

• networking and peer learning  
• access to funding and capacity building opportunities 
• services to support joint programming, and 
• innovative program and policy leadership. 

Our members are organizations that deliver a wide range of environmental programs and services. They are incorporated non-profits, with paid staff, volunteer boards, and strong partnerships, who lead on-the-ground change in their communities.
