Transition Initiative Kenora used to be an environmental non-profit operating in Kenora, Ontario. They were successful in their main mission to prevent the Energy East Pipeline and have since disbanded. Big Congratulations to them! If people are inspired by their story, they suggest two possible places to donate: 

1) Ecojustice  - they provided us with legal representation and were outstanding collaborators. Ecojustice is a Canadian legal charity, so donations are eligible for a tax receipt in accordance with Canadian tax law. You can read about our work with them here: https://www.ecojustice.ca/case/challenging-transcanadas-energy-east-pipeline/

2) Manitoba Energy Justice Coalition is sort of a parallel type of organization to TIK, a grassroots, non-charitable non-profit that works on the same types of campaigns as we tackled through TIK. They are actively engaged in fighting the Enbridge Line 3 expansion project, working with Indigenous groups and communities in Minnesota, Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
