*La version Francais suit* POSTING: DIRECTOR, BOARD OF DIRECTORS Ottawa Salus Ottawa Salus has been an unwavering champion for people living with mental illness for over 45 years. We offer a first step in the recovery process – a stable home environment – including a transitional rehabilitation program, shared homes and independent living.&nbsp; We provide mental health programs and services customized to meet each client’s unique needs on their journey to well-being and independence. The work of Salus is overseen by a dedicated volunteer Board of Directors which provides governance leadership to our President and Chief Executive Officer and their team.&nbsp; When Directors retire after serving their terms, Salus seeks new directors to fill those vacancies on the Board, individuals committed to our vision for addressing Ottawa’s housing and homelessness challenges. Recently, Salus has updated its governance structure, Bylaw, policies and accountability standards, and approved a new Strategic Plan.&nbsp; We aim to increase the diversity of our Board and we encourage candidates from all equity-deserving groups and younger demographics to apply. This posting has been published on a broad range of recruitment platforms with the goal of reaching diverse candidates. About Ottawa Salus Our vision is stable housing for everyone.

Annually for over 45 years, Ottawa Salus has provided housing and support services to more than 1000 adults in our community who are living with serious mental health, substance use health and addictions challenges. Salus’ core conviction is that a home is the first step to a healthful and successful life. In addition to living with serious mental health, substance use health and addictions challenges, many of our clients have been reliant on the shelter system, have a history of chronic homelessness, or are at risk of becoming homeless. While Salus owns and operates 14 accommodation buildings across the city, Salus is much more than a landlord providing affordable housing. Our exceptional model of care is fundamental to making housing a reality for so many people because of the mental health, substance use health and addiction support services provided by Salus’ highly qualified and caring staff. Services offered by Salus include case management, community development services, recreation therapy and occupational therapy. Position Description Salus’ Board of Directors is a governance board currently fixed at 13 Directors representing a diversity of skills and backgrounds. &nbsp;Directors are nominated and elected to the Board on the basis of their skills, experience, interest, personal integrity, and commitment to respect and further the philosophy, mission and values of Salus.

Nous offrons une étape essentielle dans le processus de rétablissement - un environnement stable à domicile - y compris un programme de réadaptation transitoire, des maisons partagées et une vie autonome. Nous fournissons des programmes et des services de santé mentale personnalisés pour répondre aux besoins uniques de chaque client sur le chemin du bien-être et de l’autonomie.&nbsp; Le travail de Salus est encadré par un conseil d’administration bénévole et dévoué qui fournit un leadership de gouvernance à notre directeur général et à son équipe.

Salus est convaincu qu’un foyer est la première étape d’une vie saine et réussie. En plus de vivre avec de graves problèmes de santé mentale, de toxicomanie et de dépendance, beaucoup de nos clients ont été dépendants du système des refuges, ont un passé de sans-abri chronique ou risquent de devenir sans-abri.&nbsp;&nbsp; Bien que Salus possède et exploite 14 immeubles d’hébergement dans la ville, l’organisme est bien plus qu’un propriétaire fournissant des logements abordables. Notre modèle de soins exceptionnel est efficace pour faire du logement une réalité pour tant de personnes, grâce aux services de soutien en matière de santé mentale, de toxicomanie&nbsp;&nbsp;et de santé fournis par le personnel hautement qualifié et attentionné de Salus.

Director

Environmental Defence Canada (EDC) 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 mission-oriented organization with solution-oriented team members who strive to improve our communities and environment. This is a full-time position with an excellent benefits package, 4 weeks vacation, employee and family assistance plan, half-day Fridays between Canada Day and Labour Day and an RRSP matching program. Salary range is $70K-$75K depending on experience. This role will be reporting to the Associate Programs Director. Purpose of the Role We are seeking an experienced Program Manager to lead Environmental Defence’s efforts to advocate for Canadian steel makers to commit to and map out a credible plan to reach net-zero.&nbsp; The Program Manager will be responsible for leading Environmental Defence’s efforts to build the case for clean steel in Canada, co-creating and leading the development of an overall strategy and a work plan, coordinating activities with partners, and assisting with fundraising proposal development. In this role you will work with a robust team of communications, public engagement and campaigning experts.&nbsp; Canada has reserves of high quality iron ore that could be produced without&nbsp; metallurgical coal, which could significantly reduce emissions by the steel sector in Canada and internationally. Some Canadian steel makers have already committed to decarbonization efforts and to moving to Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs)with the support of the federal and provincial governments. Canada has a relatively clean electricity grid and the capacity to generate significantly more clean energy. But the steel industry hasn’t committed to net-zero, and progress on reducing emissions is spotty.&nbsp; Canadian steel makers could have a competitive advantage when it comes to clean steel, a product that will be in greater demand globally as the world seeks to decarbonize and reach net-zero emissions. As Canada embarks on “nation building” and exploring industrial strategies that maximize opportunities in the clean economy, it’s time for the steel industry to fully commit to industrial decarbonization to benefit Canadians and our shared climate.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Duties and Responsibilities:<ul>	<li>Be EDC’s point person for a campaign strategy and plan to be developed with coalition partners.</li>	<li>Coordinate and facilitate regular meetings with coalition partners.&nbsp;</li>	<li>Support community partners with communications materials and strategic advise</li>	<li>Support and assist in the development of a government relations, communications and public mobilisation strategy to build support for clean steel.</li>	<li>Prepare briefing notes and other submissions on government policy.</li>	<li>Research the benefits of clean steel and stay up to date on developments in that area.&nbsp;</li>	<li>Produce relevant communications-ready information that can be used for blogs, video, website text, press releases, op-eds, newsletters, social media content, reports and act as the media spokesperson.</li>	<li>Assist with writing grant applications and funder reports.</li></ul>Skills and Experience<ul>	<li>5+ years experience working on environmental issues or public policy with government or an NGO</li>	<li>Deep understanding of climate change solutions and impacts, industrial decarbonization, and demonstrated experience working on issues and coalition-based campaigns.&nbsp;</li>	<li>Knowledge of the steel industry is a plus.</li>	<li>Strong political awareness and strategic insight</li>	<li>Project management experience an asset</li>	<li>Experience with government relations, media and/or politics a plus</li>	<li>Strong written and verbal communication skills</li>	<li>Thrives in a team environment, and can build strong working relationships</li>	<li>Efficient time and workload management skills</li></ul>Location This role will be a hybrid role, part time in the Toronto or Ottawa office and part time work from home.&nbsp; To apply&nbsp; Please submit your application through our job portal - <a href="https://edc-careers.applytojobs.ca/" target="_blank">https://edc-careers.applytojobs.ca/</a> Environmental Defence embraces equity and diversity and is committed to a workplace that is enriched by the people, needs and desires of Canada’s diverse community.
