We’re beyond lucky to live in such a vibrant, diverse environment, but luck alone won’t keep it this way.

The truth is, our planet needs us.

Every choice we make—what we buy, how we live, what we waste—has an impact and that impact matters.

At 50th, we’re doing our part to reduce our footprint and make thoughtful decisions that support a more sustainable future for everyone.

This Earth Day, let’s move with intention and act purposefully to protect the place we call home.

This month, we are highlighting @fncleanwater an Ottawa-based, Indigenous-owned business committed to providing clean drinking water and supporting First Nations communities across Canada.

Founded by Tyson Wesley and Natasha Commanda, FN Clean Water was created to raise awareness about water insecurity in Indigenous communities and drive meaningful change.

By selling premium still and sparkling water in sustainable aluminum cans, FN Clean Water donates a portion of proceeds to @WaterFirstNGO, a national organization that partners with over 60 Indigenous communities to address water challenges through training and education.

Support their mission by visiting their website and following their journey online!

As we enter a new fiscal year this April, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the past 12 months.

The last year has been full of momentum and meaning. It’s been a year of showing up—for each other, the work and the communities we’re a part of.

We’re proud of what we’ve created together and even more grateful for the people who made it possible. To our team, clients and community: thank you for your trust and passion.

We’re walking into this new year re-energized and inspired, ready to support our communities in raising their voices.
