Corporate Engagement

Ecosource works to increase access to fresh, healthy food for communities in need. Every year, we grow and donate over 1,500 pounds of fresh produce to local food banks. And we couldn’t do it without you, our local business community!

Nature Play

Ecosource’s nature play programs engage children up to 12 years of age in self-directed, nature-based play to encourage exploration and foster positive nature connections.

In the Region of Peel, we live and work on the traditional territory and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We would like to acknowledge the first inhabitants of these lands and those who continue to live in these regions, including the Anishinabek, Haudenosaunee, Huron-Wendat, Ojibway/Chippewa and Métis peoples.

We occupy colonized First Nation territories and it is our responsibility to recognize our colonial histories, their present-day implications, and to work together to honour, protect and sustain Indigenous rights, and this land.
