About

Cool North Shore is a citizen-created and driven non-profit society focused on helping make one of the most liveable places on earth one of the most sustainable. On the North Shore of Vancouver (BC), we are blessed with abundant natural, social, and economic wealth; we also have a ‘carbon footprint ‘ (greenhouse gas emissions) likely second-to-none globally. For starters, we consume a lot, live in large houses with high energy use, and love to frequently jet around the world – three of the biggest contributions to climate change.

We know North Shore citizens are passionate about this special place and want a healthy future; Cool North Shore is dedicated to helping local individuals and institutions act on that passion to create a North Shore that our children and grand-children will be proud of.  Our vision is:

All North Shore residents, from Deep Cove to Lions Bay, taking action together, to create a low carbon community.

Many North Shore citizens know that climate change threatens the future health of the planet, our community and the future we’re leaving for our children. Figuring out how to respond to these concerns can be overwhelming and confusing. This is where Cool North Shore offers a positive, non-judgmental, and proven path to getting involved in making a difference, and connecting with others who share your desire for a better future.
