THE OPPORTUNITY
Edmonton Biosphere Eco-City (EBEC) is seeking new members for a team that is developing a Database of Sustainability Projects. The database allows residents to have an overview of
the many interesting sustainability projects in their city. Visit
https://Edmonton.BioEcoCity.org to view project descriptions that have been uploaded to
date.
BACKGROUND
A Biosphere Eco-City (BEC) is an urban-centred region where teams engage people in
activities to develop a culture of sustainability. BEC Canada (BECC) is a national charity that
supports development of BECs in Ottawa, Toronto, Brampton, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
ORGANIZATION OF THE DATABASE
The framework of the database is the 10 BEC Themes of Sustainability – Transportation,
Energy, Design, Habitat, Food, Natural Capital, Waste, Health, Recreation, and Sense of
Place. These are broad areas of direct action for sustainability. Organizing the database by
Theme allows viewers to focus on areas that interest them most.
TASKS OF A DATABASE TEAM MEMBER
To find a sustainability project in urban or rural Edmonton a team member will conduct an
internet search using one of the Themes of Sustainability or a related keyword, along with
Edmonton and sustainability. They will review project descriptions and select relevant
ones to add to the database. Next, they will write a concise description using a project
template. Once completed, they will contact the project owner to verify the description.
Then another member will post the project on the website. Additionally, team members are
expected to attend monthly team meetings. The time expectation for volunteers is a flexible
3-4 hours per week.
A team leader will provide training material and advice to team members.
