The Rouge Valley Foundation’s mission is to protect the natural and cultural heritage of the Rouge Valley and its watershed through high quality restoration projects, education and research. To work closely with the community, the Foundation opened the Rouge Valley Conservation Centre in 1995. The Centre is now closing in on its 15th Anniversary and the Foundation is continuing its dedication to the Centre by retrofitting it with alternative energy and energy saving products/technology as well as engaging the community with educational presentations on energy conservation and green energy alternatives.
