Regenesis was originally formed as a grassroots activist organization and aspiring social movement.〔Ebrahim, S., Kenny, M. & Syed, S. (2014). Student-Involved Campus Sustainability and Social Justice Initiatives in Canada. Toronto: Institute of Research and Innovation in Sustainability.〕 Campaigns and projects were determined by their membership. The group had initial success, founding chapters at universities across Canada, including multiple chapters in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. 〔(Turning Up The Heat - Excalibur York University's Community Newspaper )〕 Regenesis held a launch party that took place on World Environment Day, June 5th 2008, that was hosted by Frank De Jong, leader of the Green Party of Ontario. In 2008, they organized an 'all cause rally' in Toronto, inspired by the Free Speech Movement at the University of California, Berkeley in the 1960s.〔(TorontoSun.com - Toronto And GTA - Every cause in town welcomed )〕 The group had members stand as candidates for the 2008 Canadian Youth Parliamentary Elections from their various campus clubs at universities across Canada.
Regenesis previously advocated for the removal of fluoride, which they viewed as an important environmental health issue, citing concerns over bioaccumulation.〔(Vote Out Fluoride )〕 In 2009, their anti-fluoridation campaign in Thunder Bay helped convince Thunder Bay City Council to vote against fluoridating Thunder Bay's water supply.〔( Council says no to fluoride, Thunder Bay News Watch )〕〔( Thunder Bay Says NO to Fluoride - Thunder Bay News Ledger )〕 They have been lobbying Toronto City Council, along with other member organizations of the Toronto Coalition Against Fluoridation, to halt the practice of adding Hexafluorosilicic acid to Toronto's drinking water.〔(Globe & Mail - Toronto votes to continue fluoridating water )〕〔(Toronto Coalition Against Fluoridation )〕
