Are You a Community Knowledge Holder?

You may think that your observations are humdrum and insignificant, but you may hold more insight than you realize!

Re-introducing the TLB Talking Circles and Community Open Houses.

This winter we will be holding open houses to showcase and discuss our research on fisheries, beavers and wetlands, canids, lake health and more...and at the same time invite our community members to Indigenous led Talking Circles to share insights and concerns related to these topics.

Why The Land Between is a Bat Haven

How Much is Our HR?

We are a frugal charity, and strategic in our spending. We have a dedicated COO that has donated countless hours, and reduced her earnings to see us succeed.

We are dedicated to youth and their future, hiring as many young candidates as possible through the help of the Youth Employment Strategy and Canada Summer Jobs.
