Help Build a better future for generations to come.

"At Orbus, we dream of harmony in the world, a world without poverty or marginalization ... a world balanced with sustainability, respect for each other, and respect for our earth. We believe the power is in the youth that come after us and the knowledge is found in the elders that came before us. It is up to all of us to act together. No matter how small our acts are, together we will make a difference."

Orbus helps to connect the communities around us.

How We Build Better Future Communities

We support sustainability initiatives and youth and elders in areas of education, arts, sports, music, culture and life long learning.

Helping youth grow and develop into great citizens is the the building block of better future communities.  How a society looks after its elders is the hallmark of a great culture and community. Our goal is to sustain this from generation to generation.

We also have global responsibility. Recognizing that global responsibility starts at "home" means taking small steps to be sustainable and to help the environment. A million small steps by many of us will make a difference. It is the beginning of a quiet but effective social revolution to make the future world and the local communities within it a better place for generations to come.

As our vision grows and businesses and people of all communities work to better their communities future.

Our dream is not to change the world overnight, but to do our part in making it better.

"There are a lot of good people in business and the professions that do not have a lot of extra time to dedicate to building a better community. With a little help from Orbus programming, we can ensure that there is a strong business case for being good community citizens. We can create a win-win scenario that is good for business and our communities"

All programs are supported by your local Orbus Business Network Members.

They are a new class of community-minded businesses dedicated to the Orbus programs to build better future communities.

Look for the Orbus Member signs at the businesses you go to, and know that you are supporting community-minded businesses - businesses committed to building communities for the future.

COMMUNITY CONNECT PROGRAM

Often you hear about the "good old days". Those days and communities have changed forever with the internet and new interactive media. The connection between neighbours that made for good neighbourhoods has been lost to online communications and  interaction.

Our Neighbours Online websites are designed to bring back the things that used to make our neighbourhoods vibrant, healthly and safer environments. This will go along way to making all of our communities a better place for future generations, by building the foundation for communication between neighbours unique to their own neighbourhoods. 

 “Together we make for better future communities”
