Yesterday, Kingston Community Credit Union CEO, Jon Dessau, presented Kingston Mayor Paterson and Shawn Melnyk, Dr. Kaitlyn Patterson and Maureen Buchanan of All Our Relations Land Trust with a $5,000 donation toward the Kingston Community Climate Action Fund (KCCAF).
KCCU partnered with the City of Kingston in 2020 with a commitment to support the KCCAF and local registered charities and not-for-profits as they work to reduce community greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. KCCU has supported the promotion and fundraising of the fund since its inception and agreed to match donations made at their branches up to $5,000 each year.
All Our Relations Land Trust project was selected as the focus of the Kingston Community Climate Action Fund in 2024. The project will allow All Our Relations Land Trust to curb greenhouse gas emissions by installing solar panels and a new rainwater collection structure.
The project, located on a 2.86-acre pasture along Hwy 15 in Kingston, aims to offer crucial power and water resources to sustain the Indigenous food sovereignty garden, medicine gardens, a pollinator garden, and small forests. These endeavors are thoughtfully managed by All Our Relations Land Trust, in partnership with urban Indigenous community members, allies, and affiliated organizations like Little Forests Kingston.
With the community's support, the Kingston Community Climate Action fund successfully raised $27,179 to aid the All Our Relations Land Trust Project.
