FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES
The next deadline for the ECOACTION COMMUNITY FUNDING PROGRAM is approaching
you must submit your application by FEBRUARY 1st to be considered for funding.
Check out the funding guidelines at:
http://www.ec.gc.ca/ecoaction/applicants_guide_e.html
Once youve read over the guidelines document, contact Environment Canada to see
if you would be eligible for funding.
Description:
EcoAction is an Environment Canada funding program that helps groups carry out
projects that protect or improve the environment and/or increase environmental
awareness and capacity in their community.
Who Can Apply:
Non-profit, non-government groups
Types of Projects Funded:
Funding is available for projects that: 1) address Environment Canada's priority
issues of climate change, clean air, clean water, and/or nature; 2) have
positive, measurable impacts on the natural environment, build the capacity of
communities to take action on environmental issues, or a combination of both
objectives; 3) provide opportunities for Canadians to take positive action at
the community level; and 4) encourage people to be more environmentally
responsible. The One-Tonne Challenge is a Government of Canada initiative
designed to encourage Canadians to reduce their personal greenhouse gas
emissions (GHG) emissions by one tonne per year (or 20 percent of the GHG
emissions of an average Canadian). As a supporting partner of the One-Tonne
Challenge, half of EcoAction's annual budget is directed to projects that
involve GHG reductions (under the climate change priority). The other half of
the budget supports the other three priorities mentioned above.
Range of Funding Available:
$25,000 - $100,000
Description of Funding:
Funding is available up to a maximum of $100,000 for a period of up to 2 years.
However, the average amount is about $30,000. At least half of total funds must
come from sponsors other than the federal government.
For more information call 604-664-9093 (or 1-800-667-7779).
If your project is directly concerning climate change, read over the guidelines
document (link above) and then contact Graham Van Der Slagt in Vancouver at

Naturescape BC Volunteer Opportunities
Naturescape BC is a program to restore, preserve, and enhance wildlife
habitat in urban and rural landscape. It is a program for people who
want to connect more closely with nature in their daily lives, to
quote their website. A little known fact is that the RNS Program at
the University of Victoria is currently the home of Naturescape BC and
it is an important part of our activities. Backyards are at one end of
the spectrum of habitats that benefit from restoration, with pristine
landscapes such as old growth forests and wetlands at the other end.
The RNS Program is putting together a team of naturescapers who would
conduct community workshops and put together newsletters. The
workshops would be geared to the general public, would be offered
free, and would include topics such as gardening with native
vegetation, theme gardens (e.g. ethnobotany, aromatherapy, bird
gardens) and animal houses (e.g. bird boxes, bat boxes, bee blocks).
Working on the newsletter involves writing articles, taking
photographs, editing, layout everything needed to produce a print
ready, 6-page copy.
This would be great experience to include on a resume. It would also
help to create much needed wildlife habitat in the city. If you are
interested, please contact me at schaefer (at) uvic.ca or call me at
472-4387. I would very much like to have a meeting of the group
sometime in mid-December so we can get started right away. Val
