Better Together Circle

BTC is a volunteer group based in Westport and Rideau Lakes, Ontario

BTC plans community events with our partners and friends focused on sustainability, the natural environment, social issues, climate change, and Truth and Reconciliation. We build community capacity in response to local and planet-wide ecological and social challenges.

"Even if we reconcile our differences as humans, as we continue to destroy the earth reconciliation will be incomplete.”

We're caring people who learn, laugh, discuss, grow, and take action on ecological and social issues together with our growing Circle of Friends

We cultivate resilience in ourselves, our community, and the natural world.

We like to roll up our sleeves, make a difference, and have fun doing it!

Sometimes the problems of the world can feel overwhelming.

In our experience, things are better

when we work together.

We believe in the power of ordinary people working together for positive change.

The Better Together Circle acknowledges that we are on the land that has been inhabited by Indigenous Peoples from the beginning. As settlers, we're grateful for the opportunity to meet, work and play here, and we thank all the generations of people stretching back in time who have taken care of this land. In particular, we gratefully acknowledge the Algonquin (Omàmìwininìwag) Anishnaabeg whose unceded territory this is. BTC is dedicated to taking action towards reconciliation and a harmonious relationship with the land.
