Why get involved

Together, we can make change happen.

This is where Ottawa’s environmental sustainability community connects and acts together. We are an active voice on local environmental and climate issues. We are deeply engaged in the community and follow municipal affairs. We seek to make Ottawa a greener and healthier place for everyone.

We are over 50 organizations, over 250 members, across all 24 wards of Ottawa, across rural, suburban and urban. We are a network of local climate and environment leaders. Together we can identify solutions and make change happen.

Volunteers are very important to our work and help to increase our capacity to do more in the community! We often need volunteers to assist us in a variety of ways. From policy analysis to staffing our info table at events, with expertise on a particular topic, or as communicator, and much more! If you’re interested in volunteering with CAFES contact us.
