Education & Training
We offer four levels of training to choose from. Attend an introductory session, enroll in a seminar, or jump in with both feet and apply for our annual in-depth training session.
Level 1: Perspectives on Sustainability
If the concept of Sustainability is new to you or if you’d like to know more about The Natural Step framework, this is the place to begin. These introductory sessions are open to the public.
You can also arrange for a private presentation for your group – just contact us to inquire.

Level 3: Practices in Sustainability
Ready for transformational change toward a sustainable future? Our premiere training will help you to fully integrate sustainability principles into your organization. This program evolved from the Early Adopter Project, our first formal training which was lead by TNS Canada in 2008-2009. Your trainers and guest speakers will bring you the information, show you the processes, facilitate your strategic planning, and hold you accountable for implementing the action steps you create! A 6-to-8 month commitment will be required from your organization and should include a team of up to 5 people who can participate consistently. This hands-on strategic planning process, with 10 -12 organizational teams, will create synergies and connections that will continue long after the training is completed and help foster the growing sustainability movement in the Twin Ports.
