Ontario Clean Air Alliance
Outreach Support
The Ontario Clean Air Alliance is an environmental community group working for a 100% renewable Ontario. We’re distributing these leaflets door to door in the GTA. Volunteers are asked to pop them in mailboxes in their neighbourhoods. I can mail volunteers leaflets and a map around their house for as many hours as they wish. Community service hours available.
See a full list of TCAN’s member groups here.
