Bee City Canada's mission, as an initiative of Pollinator Partnership Canada, is to recognize and support municipalities, Indigenous communities, campuses and schools that are taking action to protect and promote pollinators.

The Bee City Canada program is a set of commitments, defined in a resolution and adopted by member municipalities and Indigenous communities, that guides communities to create pollinator habitat.

By becoming a designated Bee City, Bee School, Bee City Campus or Bee City Partner, members join a community of practitioners whose pollinator conservation efforts are recognized and championed.

Members of the program commit to protecting and promoting pollinators through habitat creation and management, community education and engagement, and celebrating pollinators during Pollinator Week.

As of 2025, Bee City Canada has more than 180 members from coast to coast, making clear that their message has resonated with Canadians and that communities across the country are prepared to take action to protect and promote pollinators.
