Guelph-Wellington Coalition for Social Justice
Our Mission Statement
The Guelph-Wellington Coalition for Social Justice, a member of the Ontario Coalition for Social Justice; is a community-based coalition of individuals and organizations dedicated to progressive social change and the well being of our community.
By networking, sharing information and resources, co-operating in research, education, and advocacy work, we aspire to create and maintain a unified voice for social justice.
To this aim we promote and engage in a variety of local, provincial and national campaigns, primarily designed at this time; to raise awareness of important issues for the people of Guelph-Wellington and area.
The Guelph Citizen Action Community Events Calendar
In furtherance of the above, GWCSJ and its members have undertaken to create and maintain a “one-stop” commercial-free planning centre for Guelph Wellington and area. Many residents who enjoy becoming better informed and consider getting involved in positive, community action find our Event announcements useful tools for planning ahead. This Calendar is open at no cost for event postings to any and all not-for-profit groups who demonstrate a desire to promote social and environmental justice close to home.
Or, as someone once said it much better, let’s all expand and promote the philosophy of “thinking globally but acting locally!”
Our hope is that the dedicated people who organize and create these events for us will also use the Calendar to improve their date and time planning. When this occurs, we trust that competition for your attendance on any particular day and time period will slowly be reduced.
GWCSJ membership remains open to groups or individuals concerned with social justice, a sustainable environment and peaceful democratic action.
