VALUING LIVED EXPERIENCES 

EAC’s vision is of a just and vibrant world of respect, belonging, and ecological resilience. As a team, we are working to decolonize, further equity, and dismantle the harmful systems at the root of the interconnected crises of environment and justice that we tackle every day. We strive to bring an equity lens to all that we do, including by building a strong and diverse team.

We encourage applications from individuals from equity-deserving groups including, but not limited to: African Nova Scotian and other racialized people, Mi’kmaq and other Indigenous people, lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender and queer people, and persons with disabilities. If you are a member of an equity-deserving group and feel comfortable doing so, we encourage you to self-identify in your cover letter or application. We prioritize diversity in our selection process.

ABOUT US

The Ecology Action Centre (EAC) is a fierce and creative environmental charity based in Mi’kma’ki/Nova Scotia. Since 1971, we have proudly tackled critical environmental issues from biodiversity protection to climate change to environmental justice. Grounded in community, we act as a watchdog, convenor, mobilizer and incubator, taking a holistic approach to the environment and the creation of a just and vibrant world.

We strive to promote a diverse and inclusive organizational culture that emphasizes collaboration, caring, quality work, and real impact. We value our members, volunteers, employees, and partners and strive to create a space of respect, belonging and resilience.

We have a team of passionate and determined people who share ideas and inspire others to create systemic change in the face of urgent, complex environmental issues.

ABOUT YOU 

As a Community Climate Activator, you are eager to use your community engagement skills to catalyze climate action, leadership, and commitment. You are ready to apply a creative and collaborative lens to co-create and deliver public engagement sessions and training workshops that empower people to take climate action in their lives and spheres of influence.

YOUR FOCUS 

You will take a leadership role in co-creating a community engagement program to support the community-led component of HalifACT – Acting on Climate Together, HRM’s climate plan. The project is a component of a creative partnership between HalifACT, Halifax Public Libraries and the Ecology Action Centre, aimed at catalyzing climate action, leadership and commitment everywhere in HRM. With a focus on Halifax residents, the project weaves together threads of:
• Climate education – building awareness and understanding
• Climate engagement – inviting commitment to specific climate actions leading to ongoing relationships within a broader climate action movement
• Capacity building – working with community members to empower their sense of agency around the climate crisis and to learn skills for taking effective actions
• Artist-created objects – in the form of Climate Action commitment badges

You will report to EAC’s Community Engagement Manager and collaborate with the HalifACT team and the Halifax Public Libraries in co-creating and delivering this project.
