Polaris' current programs and campaigns include bottled water, bulk water exports, mega energy projects [i.e. tar sands], transitions to a green economy and corporate profiles. Based in Ottawa, Polaris works with community groups in Ontario, and as a catalyst with social movements nationally and internationally.
