Partnerships
Greystone Books works with The Heritage Group (which includes Heritage Group Distribution and the publishing imprints Heritage House Publishers, TouchWood Editions, and Rocky Mountain Books) on a number of back-end publishing services and for parts of its regional and Canadian national sales programs.
David Suzuki Institute
The David Suzuki Institute (DSI) is a non-profit organization that raises public awareness and advances political action in Canada on the climate and biodiversity crises and their solutions.
Greystone Books publishes a collection of books in partnership with the DSI that educate and enlighten people of all ages and backgrounds about the wonders of nature and the importance of caring for this small blue planet that provides us with all we need to prosper and survive. The collection includes many award-winning and bestselling books such as the New York Times bestseller The Hidden Life of Trees; the National Science Teachers Association Honor Book Plasticus Maritimus; the Hilary Weston Writers' Trust Prize-winning book Geography of Blood and the Governor General’s Award-winning illustrated book Lakeland. For over twenty-five years, Greystone worked with the DSI’s companion organization, the David Suzuki Foundation. In 2015, the publishing relationship shifted to the DSI, which is not a registered charity. The new association allows for more latitude to engage in political advocacy.
