Journey to Diversity

"The reality of the situation is that most environmentalists are still white, middle class women with lots of formal education. And that's not going to change overnight.  But the Ecology Action Centre feels that it's important to get started.  That organizations like the EAC need to start somewhere - anywhere - and they need to start now."

Check out our new video, featuring the work of EAC's Diversity Committee! 

Including:

  • Members of the EAC's Diversity Committee speaking about our work to become more diverse and inclusive
  • EAC's work with Concerned Citizens of Lincolnville
  • Neighbourhood Earth community art project

Who is the Ecology Action Centre?

some members of the Ecology Action Centre

Since 1971, the EAC has been working to build a healthier, more sustainable Nova Scotia.  The EAC has been voted #1 Activist Organization by readers of Halifax's The Coast magazine for eight years running.  In 2000 we were named one of the Globe and Mail's 10 best-run charities in Canada and in 2009, won the national Arthur Kroeger Awards for Public Affairs in the category of Citizenship and Community Affairs. In 2003 and 2010, we were named one of Tides Canada's Top 10. Today we have over 1000 members, 400 volunteers and staff, and seven active teams and committees.
