Who We Are
WHO WE ARE
TREA is a local, non-profit registered charity (1986). Our main goal is to educate our members and community to protect the environment, stay informed, and take personal action.
Our vision is a sustainable community. Sustainability is our conscious effort to not only be aware of, but also take action on activities that enhance the health of our community and the environment. TREA is a viable resource.
TREA’s mission is to educate our members and the community towards the development of an ecological responsible and sustainable future through awareness, reflection, caring, and action.
Vision
Our vision is a sustainable community promoting cultural and behavioural change towards and environmental and sustainable interest.
We are the educators, persuaders and motivators, influencing people’s actions, choices and behaviours. We campaign, inform, educate, convince and inspire others to be part of the solution.

Mission Statement
TREA’s mission is to educate our members and the community towards the development of an ecologically responsible and sustainable future through awareness, reflection, caring, and action.
STRATEGIC GOALS
To fulfill our mission, TREA’s broadest outcomes are strategic goals of:
Much of TREA’s work is one-on-one to help mentor citizens over barriers toward sustainable behaviours through more informed decisions. TREA supports new community leaders, and their innovative projects from and for the community, and TREA moves forward collaborative efforts to bring about change. This has included activities such as workshops, curricula, measurable projects, conferences, outreach, trainings, position statements, and public policy.
TREA projects support TREA’s strategic goals of increasing waste diversion, active transportation and reducing fossil fuel usage. TREA has been a pioneer in the community and looks forward to continuing a leadership role. Most of TREA’s work is done by volunteers. TREA funds its activities and operations primarily through membership fees, partnership projects, grants and donations.
OUR STRUCTURE

TREA welcomes the Community to join our General Meetings at Grosvenor Lodge the last Thursday of each month (except August) to learn about topics of interest to our Members, share experiences with others and network new ideas and opportunities to be involved. TREA operates by consensus, giving all members the opportunity to participate in the decision making process.
