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.

    Rates:

    I don’t have a standard hourly rate and mostly bill by project rather than by time. Some of the factors I consider when determining fees: size and budget of organization, type and length and pace of project, whether I am working solo or collaborating with other consultants, amount of support provided by the client, location of client, etc. Typically it works out to anywhere between $125-$225/hour. I often work in consultant teams on larger projects that include different rates for different types of work. I also work with clients to secure funding for my services. I am also a coach with Innoweave, which provides funding to organizations for coaching support.
