Greenspace Alliance Online - Welcome
Welcome to the Greenspace Alliance of Canada's Capital – an organization that joins individuals and citizens' groups to protect significant green spaces in the national capital area.
We provide sensible, reliable information, and have earned a reputation for it in city planning circles. Our members include scientists, journalists and economists, and we place emphasis on factual information. We are not opposed to development – in fact, we support good planning and a rational, sustainable relationship with our environment in order to create livable, breathable urban spaces.
Our website offers a lot of information on things happening right here in Canada's capital and environs, much of which you will not find in any paid publication or government website. Here's why: we do not rely on advertising or corporate contributions, all work is done on a volunteer basis, and we have nothing to hide.
We hope you find this site enriching and useful. You're invited to create an account and participate in the discussion forums.
Thank you for visiting.
