Join Families For Change, Winter contest starts Feb 2

If you and your family are concerned about climate change and pollution, but don’t really know where to start, Georgian Bay Forever (GBF) has a program for you. It’s called Families For Change (F4C).

How does it work?

It’s entirely up to your family. GBF’s new F4C program can take as much or as little time as you and your family have to devote to it. Your family can choose from a list of 15 tasks, and there is even an option to enter a contest where your family could win a Patagonia prize pack.
