Imagining a Regenerative Future
We invite you to join us for the launch of the Bio-Region Initiative, a collective effort focused on the Grand River watershed. This gathering welcomes all those who share a commitment to reimagining the future of this vital watershed.
The event marks the beginning of a shared journey to imagine an aspirational future for the Grand River region—one that honors ecological integrity, deepens social and cultural connections, and advances regenerative economic pathways. Together we will explore the opportunities and responsibilities of stewarding the watershed, while building a collective vision for resilience, wellbeing, and thriving communities.
This launch will lay the foundation for an ongoing path forward—mapping next steps, identifying leverage points, and strengthening the relationships that will guide this initiative into the future.
Register for the event and further updates.
