Bee Region

In 2020, the Region of Waterloo became Canada’s first “Bee Region”. A region-wide group of interested individuals has been organized to provide leadership to our local municipalities, local communities (neighbourhood, school, faith) and individuals who are interested in learning more about pollinators as well as becoming involved in hands-on projects.

The Pollinator Coordinating group is collaborating to:

• develop educational resources,
• share local expertise, and
• plan events (especially around Pollinator Week (3rd week of June))

Encourages and supports:

• Pollinator garden and habitat restoration projects
• Education on the importance of pollinators
• Introduction and maintenance of pesticide-free pollinator friendly landscaping
