Established in 1991, Evergreen is a registered Canadian charitable organization (BN 131815763 RR0001). Evergreen’s mission is to bring communities and nature together for the benefit of both. We engage people in creating and sustaining healthy, dynamic outdoor spaces - in our schools, our communities and our homes. We believe that local stewardship creates vibrant neighbourhoods, a healthy natural environment and a sustainable society for all. Working with the City of Toronto, and Toronto and Region Conservation, Evergreen has developed an innovative plan in order to transform the Don Valley Brick Works site into an environmental community centre that is built upon the themes of nature, culture and community. At Evergreen Commons at the Brick Works, you will be able to experience how nature enriches the places in which we live, work and play. The Don Valley Brick Works is a site of tremendous historical, ecological and geological significance. For 100 years, it produced bricks that helped build the skyline of our city. Acquired by Toronto and Region Conservation in 1989, much of the site has been turned into a natural regeneration park connecting with the Lower Don watershed. However, despite being designated a significant heritage property, 14 of the 16 remaining buildings remain in a deteriorating state, fenced off from public use and subject to ongoing vandalism.
