Our Supporters

Having been around for more than 110 years, it’s no surprise to learn we’ve had support from all levels of government, thousands of volunteers, teachers, environmental educators, the broader business community and more than a million members  in our goal to “empower teachers, students and the community to live more sustainably through education in, about and for the environment.”

There are way too many to mention them all, however Gould League would like to pay tribute to our ongoing partners, and those who have helped us through two very tough years of ongoing Covid restrictions and the post covid recovery.
