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.

IONS is committed to being an intentionally inclusive, equitable employer and creating a welcoming environment. Part of our commitment to this work is supporting the adoption of hiring practices that are conscious of systemic barriers that disproportionately affect members of equity-deserving groups. This is vital for employers, especially for the impact organizations who support these communities.

Being transparent and open about a position’s salary is one of the first steps toward ensuring greater pay equity for all people regardless of identity. We ask that employers include a salary range for the position in their job posting to be approved for the Community Impact Job Board. You can learn more about racial bias in salary negotiations here and mitigating inequitable negotiations here. 

Once a job is submitted, an IONS team member will have to approve the listing for it to appear on the Community Sector Job Board, this can take up to four business days.
