Transition Nanaimo
Transition Nanaimo is a Not-for-Profit Society which is working to accelerate Nanaimo’s transition to a thriving, low-carbon future. Their goal is to bring people together to explore how we can make Nanaimo a sustainable and resilient community that is prepared to thrive in the lower-energy, post-carbon world that is coming as we transition away from fossil fuels.
More Homes Canada
More Homes Canada is a coalition of local housing advocacy groups. Together, we are fighting to end Canada’s housing shortage. Across Canada, municipal governments have made it incredibly difficult to build higher density housing. We’ll need a lot of new homes to end the housing crisis, and the first step is to get out of our own way.
Better Island Transit
Frequent and affordable public transit service can provide convenient independent mobility for travellers who cannot, should not or prefer not to drive on Island highways. It also reduces road congestion, crashes and pollution emissions. It supports local economic development by helping students access school, workers access jobs, businesses access employees and tourists access rural areas. It helps create more livable, equitable and successful communities.

Our goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in urban areas around the globe, save commuters billions of hours annually and boost organizations’ productivity, while lowering HR costs, decreasing traffic congestion and pollution, lowering healthcare costs, and strengthening regional economies.
