Who We Are
nnea is a community-driven group in Ottawa connecting people through nature and outdoor adventures.
Our Story
NNEA began as a small group in Ottawa with a singular vision: to make the beauty and benefits of nature accessible to everyone. We recognized that certain barriers, such as transportation, specialized gear, and lack of experience, can prevent individuals from enjoying the great outdoors. Fueled by our passion for inclusivity, we set out to create a platform that would change this narrative.
Our Mission
Our mission is straightforward yet profound: we aim to remove barriers to outdoor recreation by providing essential access, resources, and community support. We believe that outdoor spaces should not just be for a select few but should welcome everyone, regardless of their background or skill level. This commitment drives all our initiatives and programs.
Our Vision and Values
We envision a world where outdoor spaces are not only accessible but also inclusive and welcoming to all individuals. Our core values underpin our vision: inclusivity, community, safety, wellness, and environmental respect. These principles guide us in our daily efforts to foster a community that embraces outdoor activities as a shared experience, enriching the lives of all participants.
Join us on this journey to break down barriers and create a thriving community where everyone can enjoy the restorative power of nature. Together, we can make a difference.
