Dedicated to protecting and preserving our South Shore

Calling all VOLUNTEERS! SSJI returns to the Mustang Drive-In Trunk Show!

Thanks to the support of many enthusiastic volunteers in 2021, we’re back at the Mustang Drive-In Trunk Show this summer every SUNDAY from July 3 to August 28! These volunteer-led events help us fundraise and share info about how we’re working to protect and preserve our South Shore. Here are the details:

This year we will have the same set up and a tent for shade!
We’re giving out our colourful SSJI South Shore Guides (includes a handy map)
We’re selling our new, artist designed Green Darner Dragonfly t-shirts and our very popular Dick Bird handcrafted Bluebird boxes

Volunteer shifts are 10:00 am to 1:00 pm or 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. Here are the dates:

THANK YOU in advance for making our second year at the Mustang Drive-In Trunk Show a success!

What's YOUR South Shore Story?

Our South Shore is full of stories. You can watch dozens of them on our popular YouTube channel. Did you grow up learning all that there is to offer along the trails? Maybe you're a visitor who enjoys the peacefulness of Lake Ontario's waves hitting the shore. If you have stories about the area, or if you simply love taking photos of our beautiful South Shore, we'd like to share them! We invite you

South Shore Joint Initiative (SSJI) members and partner organizations are working to protect Prince Edward County’s South Shore Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA) in order to maintain or increase the biodiversity of its terrestrial and marine ecosystems.

Our members support the objectives of SSJI. Our partners include individuals and organizations that support particular objectives and initiatives of South Shore Joint Initiative as part of the larger coalition to protect the South Shore IBA.

Since 2018, through public education, supporting responsible usage and enabling scientific research, we’re proud to raise awareness about how the wellbeing of Prince Edward County’s South Shore and the people who enjoy it are inextricably linked. Together, we are working to protect and preserve public lands in Canada’s last undeveloped Lake Ontario shoreline.

Your one-time and monthly donations help us to advance our work. Every donation of $20 or more includes SSJI membership. We are proud to be a registered charity based in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. Tax receipts will be emailed to you within 5 business days.

Thank you for your support!
