awareness campaigns, this time to hundreds, of Hispanic
and Somali newcomers and low-income tenants in Toronto.
Newcomers are often excluded from environmental campaigns
because of language and cultural barriers.
Providing translated materials, the not-for-profit trained
a group of tenants to teach their own communities, stimulating
awareness and engaging individuals in local hands-on projects.
