Greenpeace was founded in Canada in 1971. Since then we have opened offices in 27 countries across the globe and are represented at virtually every international environmental conference in the world.

In order to remain independent, Greenpeace does not solicit donations from corporations or governments, but relies on individual donors to fund its environmental campaigns. Greenpeace has more than 100,000 members in Canada and over 2.5 million members around the world.

Each Greenpeace national office functions with a board and voting members and has its own independent structure based on the needs and laws of its country. These offices are part of the international organization of Greenpeace but maintain their own campaign priorities and identity.

Greenpeace Canada has a seven member board of directors, which determines the priorities and annual budget.  Day-to-day management is the responsibility of the executive director.

Greenpeace Canada has offices in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.
