COVID-19
The Ecology North office is once again open to the public. We’re still doing our part to stay safe and healthy, but are excited to be able to welcome the public back into our space.
Please email admin@ecologynorth.ca if you have any pressing inquiries.
Take care, from Ecology North board and staff.
Ecology North is a charitable, non-profit organization based in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada that was formed in 1971 to support sound environmental decision-making on an individual, community and regional level.
Ecology North’s programs focus on five priorities: climate change, environmental education, water, waste reduction, and local food production. A common thread throughout all of the Ecology North programming is an emphasis on environmental, social, and community well-being.
Ecology North maintains collaborative partnerships with a number of other local community and educational organizations to promote public education, sustainable living and climate change adaptation and mitigation on environmental initiatives.
Our Mission
Bringing people and knowledge together for a healthy northern environment.

Trash-formation 2022
Ecology North is pleased to announce an exciting upcoming opportunity that is open to Yellowknife artists and general public, as part of the 15th Annual Old Town’s Ramble and Ride festival, July 29th – 31st:
We are inviting you to create art pieces out of your ‘waste’ to showcase at our space at the Ramble & Ride festival. The Trash-formation Art Show is an amazing opportunity to showcase the artistic talent in our community and provide a creative outlet to challenge ourselves to extend the life-cycle of unwanted items.
Ecology North will be running the environmental team and Rent-a-Plate services once again at this year’s Folk on the Rocks, July 15-17 at Long Lake.
