Our Community’s Mission
Nurture.
At the EHS, we work on building interest, involvement and education in horticulture (plants, nature) and the environment, thereby beautifying and providing enjoyment to people in Etobicoke and beyond.
We have 3 core values to guide us:
Advocacy
EHS advocates to improve, involve, and inspire, with knowledge, leadership, and stewardship, and by using sustainable methods.
Community
EHS pursues its relationship with its community by being collaborative, showing encouragement, showing enthusiasm, and exhibiting gratitude.
Integrity
EHS is accountable for its actions and pursuits by using credible, responsible and trustworthy ways and means.
Land Acknowledgement Statement
We acknowledge the land on which we meet is the historical territory of the Wendat, the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee and the Mississaugas of the Credit River nations.
The Territory is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.
We respect the history, languages and cultures of the First Nations, Metis, Inuit and all First Peoples of Canada, whose presence continues to enrich our great country.
We invite everyone to think about their responsibilities to the land and water, and to honour the peoples who have been living here for thousands of years.
