Development of a database for a sustainability project

 Volunteers for Brampton (BEC) : Join the Movement for a Sustainable Brampton!

Are you passionate about

making a difference in your community? Would you like to volunteer some free time to make Brampton more sustainable?

Biosphere Eco-Cities Canada (BECC) is seeking three or four volunteers, to dedicate 3-4 hours a week to develop a Database of Sustainability Projects for the city. Maintained on the Brampton Biosphere Eco-City (BBEC) website, the database will allow residents to have an overview of sustainability projects in their city. This will allow them to learn more about sustainability, about their city, and can help them contact managers of interesting projects.
