Their membership includes both provincial organizations and individual members who support their goal of a healthy environment, are committed to incorporating conservation values into their own activities, and who wish to work together to promote a province-wide, cooperative approach to solving environmental problems.

Biker Breakfast - Friday October 26th, Grassroots-Annex
Get your two-wheeler out of the garage and join the folks at Grassroots-Annex, 408 Bloor Street West at Brunswick, for our monthly "Biker Breakfast" in support of Toronto's Bicycle commuters. On the last Friday of every month Grassroots hosts an early morning bicycle commuter breakfast between 8am-9:30am. Grassroots would like to support and encourage all of those folks that commute to work by bike, and hopefully we will inspire others to try commuting by bike.
