Respect for diversity

We value and respect the Earth’s natural diversity as well as the cultural, linguistic, ethnic, sexual, religious, and spiritual diversity of all people. Everyone has the right to an environment that supports their dignity, health, and well-being. We believe in building positive and respectful relationships across different groups in our multicultural society.

The Simcoe North Greens honour and uphold the rights of Indigenous peoples to the essential resources needed for both economic and cultural survival, including rights to land, water and self-determination. We also recognize and honour contributions to the shared heritage of national and global cultures.
