Child and Nature Alliance of Canada (CNAC) JOB OPENINGExecutive Director Compensation:$120,000 Vacation:20 days/year Sick &amp; Family Leave: 12 days/year [cannot be rolled over into new calendar year] Location: Remote, managing work across all time zones. Some travel within the country will be required each year. Candidate must be based in Canada.MissionTo foster meaningful and reciprocal relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous beings, ensuring a sustainable and equitable future for generations to come.VisionCNAC’s work contributes to a balance between our relationships with the Land, knowledge, and one another.About CNAC:At the Child and Nature Alliance of Canada, relationship with the Land is at the heart of what we do, and this Land is Indigenous Land. We are a national organisation based in a settler-colonial state built upon the appropriation of Indigenous Lands, the decimation of Indigenous peoples, the enslavement of Black and Indigenous peoples, the indentured servitude of East Asian and South Asian peoples, and the discrimination and oppression of many more. To ethically speak of connection with the Land we must tell the truth about its colonization, and honour and centre Indigenous sovereignty. We have a responsibility to restore and protect the fundamental right of the Land and all people to build relationships that honour history, identity, and collective well-being.Reciprocal relationships with the Land are essential for the well-being of all.Indigenous knowledge systems, lived experience, and research confirm that personal and sustained connections with the natural world are vital for the Land and people. Yet, access remains inequitable, shaped by the dominant white-settler worldview that treats Land as a resource to be extracted from rather than as a living being. We seek to shift this paradigm by fostering reciprocal, cross-cultural relationships with the communities and participants we serve. This excerpt is taken from our new strategic plan** - which is our response to the climate in crisis, and represents our commitment to expanding opportunities for all people to connect with the Land for the benefit of the Land, and current and future generations.&nbsp;In 2025, CNAC will enter a foundational year of transition. This period will focus on transitioning away from white-settler leadership and toward Indigenous leadership, and organizational restructuring, strengthening our capacity for long-term impact. This intentional pause will allow us to nurture our community-guided mission and our relationships, building a strong foundation for the futureWe must work together.CNAC’s new strategic plan has been developed in consultation with core and facilitation team members, Elders Annie Smith St Georges and Robert St Georges, and external partners in Indigenous early learning, camping and recreation, public elementary education, early childhood education, forest/nature school, and professional learning. Over the course of 6 months, through Zoom discussions, anonymous surveys, and one-on-one conversations, CNAC community members shared their ideas, hopes, and concerns about who CNAC could be and what CNAC could try to accomplish over the next few years.
