Local Group Agreement

Future Ground Network supports groups across so-called Canada that meet regularly to take action and secure healthier, more viable futures. Our members' work focuses on environmental, economic, racial, gender and disability justice as well as biodiversity, waste reduction and sustainable systems. Joining the network means connecting with organizers from other groups to share best practices, find inspiration, and work together to achieve common goals. Learn more here.

If you have an existing group of four or more members, please sign this local group agreement to register. We recommend that anyone who is active in your group fill out this form so that they can access all the resources Future Ground Network has to offer.

Thank you for your commitment! We know it takes courage and generosity to dedicate your time to acting on issues that matter most to you and your community. As an organizer, you’ll fuel the network by sharing ideas and best practices with other groups. As network facilitator, the David Suzuki Foundation will provide free access to training opportunities, connective events, and digital tools to help your group make an impact.
