Green Club/ Community School is a self-funded non-profit organization dedicated to environmental education on biodiversity and multiculturism in the Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
We registered in British Columbia (# S-40067, Canada Customs and Revenue # 86470-1529-RT0001) in 1999.

We have a group of environment concerned Taiwanese and Chinese Canadian dedicated to promote cross-cultural understanding of the unique eco-systems and cultures among Taiwan, Asia and Canada, and to educate the public about the importance of conservation and bio-diversity.

We have 1 eco-tour programs, 7~9 guided natural walk programs, 4~6 heritage walks and cultural programs, and over 20 community healthy walks every month to advance a healthy way of living our daily life, provide guidance to appreciate the natural history, present opportunities to learn how to decrease human disturbances and impacts, and encourage active participation in community environmental protection.

In 2011, we held 5 eco-tours, 97 guided natural walks, 80 heritage walks and cultural programs, and 250 commuity healthy walks with 5,271 participants. We have 300 active family members including 54 life members living all over the Metro Vancouver area (half of them in City of Vancouver).

Around 75 % family members came from Taiwan, 15% family members from Hong Kong, and 10% family members from China. Most of them came to the Greater Vancouver area in recent 15 years. Most of our students are adults in our community, and some young students on weekends and summer vocation.

We are one of the most active Canadian educational organizations on environment and healthy life in the Metro Vancouver area and Canada.  We were accredited to World Summit on Ecotourism in Montrel (2002), World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg (2002), United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (2005~2009), and UN World Urban Forum in Vancouver (2006).
