Action Chelsea for the Respect of the Environment has been busy securing parcels of land in perpetuity to maintain biodiversity in fauna and flora. As such, in 2022, 100 ACRE woods was secured, along with the McMartin forest. At Leacross, we believe in helping to save the environment and look for alternative ways to house people, without destroying valuable wildlife corridors.

Supporting sensitive environmental regions throughout Canada including Gros Morne, the boreal forest, and underwater reef protection.

The Leacross Foundation began providing funding to The Nova Scotia Sea School in 2023 to introduce young people to the opportunity to live on the ocean in challenging conditions that build character, resilience and a sense of responsibility for the ocean environment and each other.

Funding goes towards Bursary programs; Equity; Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives, Youth Leadership Programs, Sail-training, Wilderness and Sea Kayaking Expeditions, and Mental Health Initiatives to inspire the next generation of diverse adventurers.

Granted bursaries for young women to participate in the Arctic and Antarctic expeditions as an educational experience.

Supporting, protecting and improving the health of rivers in the Ottawa/Outaouais region.
