Hummingbird Ecotherapy & Recovery is looking for up to 10 passionate, action-oriented individuals of diverse backgrounds to join our working/advisory board. Much of the work we aim to do is land-based and takes place on the land of many first nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Odawa, Ojibwe, and Pottawatomi Nations collectively known as the Three Fires Confederacy, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.

As such, we aim to have an advisory board that is composed of 3-4 (or more) Indigenous people local to Ontarí:io, the remaining board members will be made up of women and gender-diverse people of various marginalized backgrounds. We will work towards this by advertising to these groups specifically and taking it into account when selecting board members. All advisory board members will receive a vote in broad consensus, and an honorarium for their time in meetings or doing work for HER.
