Since 2021, CultureLink and Earth Rangers have worked together to engage over 2,500 newcomers to Canada—immigrant and refugee families—in climate action through Project 2050, a bold initiative supporting Canada’s net-zero carbon emissions target by 2050.

Through this partnership, kids explore climate-friendly habits like waste reduction, active transportation, and the circular economy. CultureLink brings these ideas to life with hands-on bike repair and upcycling workshops, where participants develop practical skills and learn how small actions contribute to fighting climate change.

CultureLink’s Kids Learn to Ride program addresses practical barriers to cycling as a sustainable transportation option for families. By offering free bike tune-ups, safety materials, and accessories, the program makes cycling safer and more accessible. Workshops also provide Project 2050’s educational materials, showing participants how choices like biking instead of driving support climate action. This combination of resources, safety training, and environmental awareness helps families make cycling a lasting habit.

The partnership has also united newcomer families through events like the Spring Break Bike Camp and other community gatherings, where they learned and practiced Project 2050 Challenges. Together, CultureLink and Earth Rangers continue to inspire environmental stewardship, empowering children, newcomers, and families to take meaningful climate action.

Experience the joy and impact of this partnership in action! Watch the video below to see how CultureLink and Earth Rangers inspire climate-friendly habits in newcomer families. From bike repair workshops to cycling adventures, children discover the power of small actions in creating a sustainable future—one ride at a time.
