Who We Are

The Just Recovery Simcoe initiative was started in 2020 in response to the effects of COVID-19 on our communities, families and our economy.

This collective effort between many groups across Simcoe County was intended to create a vision and provide guidance about how we can heal and move forward in a way that is sustainable, equitable, and just.

Our goal is to provide proven ideas to communities and politicians that use tax dollars efficiently with a high return on investment.

Further, in light of climate change and systemic racism and marginalization, these ideas can help provide structural changes which support climate action and equity.

We can make these changes and we can build a better world together.
