The Society for Children and Youth (SCY) of BC is a unique, provincial not-for-profit organization. Our mission is to improve the well-being of children and youth in BC through the advancement of their civic, political, economic, social, cultural, and legal rights. Since 1974, the Society has focused on providing a strong voice representing children and youth.The Society’s work focuses on four key priorities: child and youth rights, child and youth friendly communities, social justice, and organizational resilience. We have four core organizational values that the Walking School Bus is built around:<ul><li>Relationships: We know we can’t do our best work alone.</li><li>Centering Children and Youth: Children and youth know best what they are experiencing and what their needs and interests are.</li><li>Being Compassionate: Treating one another with compassion is fundamental to creating a safe and comfortable environment.</li><li>Being Resourceful: To be resourceful, we must work to find creative solutions, push boundaries, define new roadmaps, and collaborate with community partners.</li></ul>Much like a traditional yellow school bus, a Walking School Bus (WSB) is a group of students who travel to and/or from school each day along a designated route, stopping along the way to pick up more students. The bus is supported by trained adult Walk Leaders, who walk with the group daily. The bus is powered not by an engine, but on foot, by the students themselves as they walk to and from school.As a volunteer, your job is to support your group’s Walk Leader. The Walk Leader manages logistics like attendance and family communications. Your role involves playing games along the walk, getting to know the participants, and making sure no one lags too far behind – you’re acting as another pair of eyes on the walk, and helping to foster community!Volunteer walking shifts are available every weekday before and after school and are typically 30 to 45 minutes in length. No minimum availability is required; however, we encourage volunteers to commit to at least 1 regular shift per week.Benefits of volunteering with the Walking School Bus include:<ul><li>Regular exercise and fresh air on walking shifts</li><li>Recognition and perks from SCY – like gift cards, transit passes, and local business discounts</li><li>Play an important role in reducing school zone congestion</li><li>Networking and development opportunities in the fields of child-friendly planning, school active travel, and sustainable transportation</li></ul>We currently have volunteer positions available with the following Walking School Bus partner schools:<ul><li>Keating Elementary</li><li>Ecole Macaulay Elementary</li><li>Craigflower Elementary</li><li>Tillicum Elementary</li></ul>To Express Interest:Please send an email introducing yourself and sharing a bit about what interests you in the Walking School Bus and your relevant experience to <a href="mailto:walkingschoolbus@scyofbc.org" target="_blank">walkingschoolbus@scyofbc.org</a>.

About the RoleEnvironmental Defence Canada (<a href="http://www.environmentaldefence.ca" target="_blank">EDC</a>) is a leading Canadian environmental advocacy organization that works with government, industry and individuals to defend clean water, a safe climate and healthy communities. You will be joining a&nbsp;mission-oriented organization with solution-oriented team members who strive to improve our communities and environment. The hourly rate is $35. This contract will end on December 23, 2025.Purpose of the RoleEnvironmental Defence is seeking an individual who can help us engage municipalities and other interested stakeholders on the topic of renewable energy and battery energy storage facilities. This individual will need to be able to travel around Ontario, meet with municipal council members and staff, with local residents and concerned citizens, delegate at council meetings and speak at community events, informing interested parties about the benefits that communities can derive from welcoming renewable energy development (wind, solar and battery storage) in their jurisdictions.&nbsp;The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) recently finalized its RFP for the Long Term 2 procurement, in which it is seeking bids for energy and capacity resources. Energy Resources provide electricity generation to the grid and could be wind or solar, or they could also be gas plants. Capacity resources are available to provide capacity to the grid when called upon and could be gas plants or Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). All projects require a resolution of support from the local municipal council to proceed. Proposals for the Energy stream need to be submitted by October 16, 2025. Proposals for the Capacity stream need to be submitted by December 18th, 2025.&nbsp;Many municipalities are discussing whether they will grant a motion of support for wind, solar and BESS projects. They are also debating whether to support new gas plant proposals. Environmental Defence is seeking to help support environmentally sound clean energy projects and encourage municipal councils to vote to support those projects. EDC is also seeking to urge councils to vote against supporting new gas plants due to local air quality impacts, high costs, and, of course, climate change.&nbsp;&nbsp;Duties and Responsibilities<ul><li>Conduct outreach to municipal councils, council members and staff</li><li>Meet with and be a resource for municipal councils and staff contemplating whether to support or oppose LT2 projects</li><li>Travel to municipalities and delegate at meetings or speak at community gatherings as needed</li><li>Help gather testimonials from municipal officials, land owners and others who are familiar with (and benefit from) renewable energy projects</li><li>Support community members in advocating for good renewable energy projects and negotiating community benefit agreements</li><li>Conduct interviews with local media outlets&nbsp;</li></ul>Skills and Experience<ul><li>Due to the nature of this role which requires frequent travel to locations underserved by public transit, possession of a valid driver’s license and reliable access to a vehicle is strongly preferred</li><li>Knowledge of renewable energy and its benefits</li><li>An engaging, outgoing, people-oriented personality</li></ul>LocationWe are looking for an individual who lives outside the GTA (in Northern Ontario preferably) and is comfortable travelling to different locations within Ontario. This role will be remote-first with an in-office component when needed.&nbsp;To applyPlease apply by sending your resume and cover letter to&nbsp;<a href="mailto:hr@environmentaldefence.ca" target="_blank">hr@environmentaldefence.ca</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;Racialized communities and others from equity-seeking groups are disproportionately affected by climate change and environmental degradation, yet they are significantly under-represented in environmental organizations. We believe that those most impacted by these issues must have access to paid positions in organizations dedicated to environmental defense and justice. Environmental Defence strives to create a workspace that reflects the diversity of identities and lived experiences within the communities we serve. If you see yourself reflected in 80% of the requirements for this role, we strongly encourage you to apply.If you require any accommodations, please contact&nbsp;<a href="mailto:hr@environmentaldefence.ca" target="_blank">hr@environmentaldefence.ca</a>&nbsp;
