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.
Join the network, BECOME A MEMBER
Community associations, environmental organizations, and citizens’ groups from across Ottawa make up the core of our collaborative network. Through CAFES, members share ideas and support each other on the local environmental issues that matter most to their neighbourhoods.
Whether you’re an environment committee chair, the green thumb in your local association, or a community group just beginning to engage on sustainability, we want to hear from you.
For practitioners and professionals across any sector, having a dedicated space to connect on sustainability is key to driving real change.
Green Drinks is a monthly gathering that brings together, innovators, experts and passionate community members to focus on climate solutions. The events are informal. The conversation is real. And the relationships that form here carry into the work.
If you live in Ottawa and care about the environmental future of your community, there is a place for you here. Relationship-building and collaboration are key to community resilience. Meaningful actions starts with neighbours who stay connected to one another.
CAFES welcomes everyone and empowers all to get involved; whether you’ve been part of the environmental conversation for years or this is your first step.
An informal, social space for professionals, advocates, and anyone environmentally-conscious to connect with their community.

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!
