LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Ecology North’s main office is located in SÇ«Ì€mba K’è, Denendeh (Yellowknife, Northwest Territories), on Chief Drygeese Territory, traditional territory of the Yellowknives Dene and homelands of the Indigenous Métis of the North Slave Métis Alliance.
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 environmental education programming focuses on five priority areas: climate action, water stewardship, waste reduction, biodiversity and food sovereignty. 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

Earth Week 2026
Mahsi Cho to all our supporters, partners, and volunteers!! Earth Week 2026 saw over 650 people participate in 21 events over 7 days. Ecology North is humbled by the community engagement both from volunteers and participants.
Collective action is climate action. Sometimes the climate crisis feels overwhelming, but participating in clothing swaps, making your own butter, learning and becoming more informed about traditional Indigenous values and land use, and meeting in solidarity across age groups are all forms of climate action. Yellowknife, your participation gives us hope. As we move into a new season, we all have a role to play in making positive change. I hope you feel it too, and that these events (and our collective action) energize you to continue advocating for a healthy northern environment, forever!
