SACRED THREADS JOB POSTINGS

Sacred Threads is a seasonal community-led gathering and workshop series rooted in Two-Spirit, queer, BIPOC, and disability justice values. It celebrates community safety, storytelling, art, and collective resilience while laying the cultural and social foundation for long-term climate and renewable energy organizing.

​

This project phase prioritizes building relationships, holding space for ceremony and healing, and activating creative engagement tools that carry into fall/winter action. Sacred Threads is directly connected to the broader multi-year climate justice and just transition framework led by the Mixed Coast Collective and supported by Sierra Club Canada.

Forming the Sacred Threads Steering Committee

To guide the next phase of the project—focused on community-driven renewable energy—a Sacred Threads Steering Committee will be formed by early fall 2025. This group will help evaluate the summer learnings and inform the design of solar, storage, and energy justice pilots.

The Steering Committee will:

  • Be composed of participants, youth leaders, facilitators, Elders, and partner org reps

  • Review summer outcomes, event feedback, and shared stories

  • Help shape the equity-centered criteria for solar project site selection and training

  • Support fundraising, political engagement, and co-authorship of a community vision report

We acknowledge that Ktaqamkuk is the unceded and unsurrendered land of the Mi'kmaq peoples who have taken care of this land for centuries. We also wish to acknowledge the Inuit and Innu of Labrador. We acknowledge that the white settler colonial state has been built through Indigenous genocide and land theft, the enslavement and labour theft of people of African descent through the trans-Atlantic slave trade, the fifteen thousand Chinese men who worked under exploitative conditions to build Canada’s first transcontinental railroad, the internment and forced labor of twelve thousand Japanese Canadians, and the thousands of refugees and migrants denied refuge into so-called Canada throughout its history.
