IONS is situated in Mi’kma’ki, the unceded and ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaw people. Unceded means that the Mi’kmaq have never relinquished, sold, traded, or transferred ownership of their land to European settler colonies, yet land was taken over without their consent through various processes of settler colonialism. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship, which the Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik people first signed with the British Crown in 1726. These Treaties did not involve the surrendering of rights to the lands and resources they had traditionally used and occupied. We are all Treaty People.

We further acknowledge that Nova Scotia is the birthplace of Black culture and heritage in Canada. People of African descent have shared these lands for over 400 years, and over 50 strong and resourceful African Nova Scotian communities exist here today.

We are committed to the struggle against systems of oppression that have resulted in profound inequities and the denial of self-determination rights. We are working actively to deepen our learning at an individual level, provide learning opportunities about anti-racism and decolonization, and to develop partnerships with organizations serving and led by underrepresented groups.

    Work Description:

    With prior experience as a Senior Policy Analyst position with the provincial government, I offer policy development service where I help clients identify their needs and policy issues, develop policy options, perform policy analysis through various tools (e.g., cost-benefit or force field analysis), identify policy risks, design mitigating plans, and perform equity impact assessment on the recommended option. The equity impact assessment ensures equity impacts are properly considered before policy is created or actioned.

    The other piece of work I offer is MEL framework development. MEL stands for Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning. Through this work, I help develop a MEL framework for clients to further design their monitoring, evaluation, and learning plans. This work doesn't involve creating the actual MEL plans. What it can include (on needs basis) are the key indicators that the organization can use to further guide is MEL plans.
