Our Mission

Bee City Canada’s mission is to inspire cities, towns, First Nations, schools, businesses and other organizations to take action to protect pollinators.

How do we do this?

We offer programs which recognize communities and organizations that are taking steps or are committed to future initiatives to help pollinators.

A school or a First Nation that is engaged in such activities can apply to be designated as a Bee School or Bee City. These programs are free.

Similarly, cities, campuses, businesses and other organizations can apply for a Bee City designation through the Bee City, Bee City Campus and Bee City Partner programs. An annual fee applies.

All program participants must commit to:

1. Creating, maintaining and/or improving pollinator habitat.
2. Educating their community, employees and/or customers about the importance of pollinators.
3. Celebrating pollinators during National Pollinator Week or at other times.
