Our mission:

To cultivate resilient communities, which enable the land and all living beings to thrive.

 

Our Vision:

The Compost Education Centre reconnects many people, young and old, to simple, land based, resiliency practices.  Our organizational practices sustain the CEC, the natural environment, and our communities.  We actively work towards right relations, anti-oppression and environmental justice in solidarity with the Indigenous peoples on whose land we work.

 

Values:

Resiliency: Vibrant, adaptable, flourishing land, communities, employees, volunteers and organization

 

Access:

A welcoming, safer space for all that increases access to resources.  Access to all ages and intergenerational focus.

 

Justice:

Indigenous land rights, right relations, anti-oppression and environmental justice woven through all the work we do
