Sustainable Environment Network Society
The Sustainable Environment Network Society (SENS) is a Canadian nonprofit organization focused on environmental advocacy and community education. Registered under Business Number 136957214RR0001, it operates primarily in the Okanagan region of British Columbia, emphasizing sustainable practices to address ecological challenges.

Mission and Activities

SENS promotes environmental stewardship through education, public engagement, and direct action. Key initiatives include tree-planting campaigns to combat deforestation and climate change, advocating for eco-sanitation systems as alternatives to conventional wastewater management, and organizing public forums on climate policy[2][4][5]. The society emphasizes community involvement, encouraging volunteers to participate in projects such as school-ground greening and local reforestation[2].

Advocacy and Public Engagement

The organization has opposed urban sprawl and unsustainable development, urging municipal governments to prioritize ecological preservation over expansion[1]. SENS also hosts all-candidates’ forums during elections, focusing on environmental policy and climate action. A notable example includes a 2025 virtual forum for the Vernon–Lake Country-Monashee riding, where candidates addressed pre-submitted questions on environmental priorities[5].

Water Management Advocacy

SENS advocates for decentralized, eco-friendly wastewater solutions, criticizing reliance on centralized sewage systems that risk polluting freshwater ecosystems. The society highlights global examples, such as China-Sweden Eco-Town projects, to promote sustainable sanitation technologies[4].

Organizational Structure

As a registered nonprofit, SENS collaborates with local businesses, schools, and environmental groups to fund and execute projects. It emphasizes partnerships with nurseries, reforestation companies, and volunteers to maximize impact[2][4]. The organization’s activities align with broader efforts to address climate change and biodiversity loss in British Columbia.

Events and Outreach

SENS organizes educational events, workshops, and volunteer-driven campaigns, often aligning with seasonal initiatives like spring and fall tree-planting drives[2][5].
