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.
