About

Located in Eastern Ontario, Canada, Transition Cornwall+ is a community group created to build resilience and sustainability in Cornwall and the surrounding rural area of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry (the + in our name,) in preparation for the combined challenges of peak oil, climate change and global economic instability.
We believe that with thoughtful and deliberate planning, the transition to life without cheap fuel will be far gentler, and our community can become an even more fulfilling, socially connected, sustainable and self-reliant place to live. But we have to act together, and we have to act now.

Our Purpose
Transition Cornwall+ aims to inspire everyone in the Cornwall area to work together to increase our community’s capacity to thrive in the face of peak oil, climate change and global economic instability. We intend to:
-raise awareness about these upcoming challenges
-work with people and groups already active with these issues
-lead a dynamic community process that unleashes the collective genius of our citizens for imagining and planning for a better future
-create and implement a long-term plan to systematically reduce fossil fuel dependency in the Cornwall area.

Green Drinks - Please see below for our new venue and date!

Come meet and have a drink, tea or coffee, or snack with members of Transition Cornwall+ on the second Tuesday of every month at the Glengarrian, which is located at 841 Sydney Street at the corner of 9th Street and Sydney.  We meet at around 7 pm. Everyone is welcome, as we discuss environmental issues, gardening, permaculture, our beautiful city and the surrounding area, trees, care of the earth, the rivers, anything that you would like to discuss that pertains to green. Come meet new faces, hear about what others are doing in our area, meet members of Transition Cornwall+, network, make friends, and have fun!
