About the David Suzuki Foundation

The David Suzuki Foundation empowers people to take-action in their communities on the environmental crisis we face, through research, policy, advocacy and education.

At DSF, we are committed to anti-racism and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI).  We recognize that decolonizing and EDI are an essential part of progressive leadership and fundamental to the environmental and climate crisis we face. Furthermore, as a Canadian settler organisation focused on lands and waters, we must work in solidarity and partnership with Indigenous people.  This commitment is reflected in the transforming journey we have started to embed diversity, equity and inclusion, to decolonize and be an anti-racist organization.

The David Suzuki Foundation is strongly committed to equity and diversity and to creating a welcoming and inclusive workplace. We especially encourage applications from Equity-deserving groups; specifically, Indigenous and racialized people, members of the LGBQTI+, Trans and gender-diverse, women, persons with disability, chronic illness and neurodiversity.
