Our Constitution

Mission

Iron & Earth is led by oilsands workers committed to incorporating more renewable energy projects into our work scope. We invite the general public and workers from other energy sectors to join us in this mission. 


Values

We believe the development of Canada’s energy sector must prioritize the health and equity of workers, our families, communities, economy, and the environment.


Beliefs

The current trajectory of Canada’s energy industry does not reflect our values, and a new direction is needed. There are strong economic, social, and environmental reasons for Canada to be one of the leading countries in the renewable energy industry, but our nation has failed in this area. Although the members of Iron & Earth are some of the primary benefactors of carbon based energy development, we believe it is time for Canada to develop a more diversified approach to the development of our energy sector - Canada needs to manage it’s carbon based energy sources in a more sustainable manner, while ambitiously increasing renewable energy development.


Commitment

We will prioritize building relationships as the foundation of our work, and will strive to find common ground as we develop and implement strategies for our membership to thrive in the renewable energy industry. Through this pursuit, our actions will never compromise our mission, values, or beliefs. 

Iron & Earth is committed to partnering with Indigenous workers to empower their communities to become self-sufficient in training programs, clean energy transition projects, and employment opportunities to combat environmental racism. It falls to all of us to continue the work of healing and reconciliation in our communities and our organizations. Our relationship with the land and the people who live here shapes who we are. It is in the spirit of reconciliation and honouring the past that we recognize treaties and agreements wherever they are and wherever we work.

We also acknowledge all peoples who live, work, and play on this land, and who honour and celebrate this territory.
As individuals and teams we may make mistakes along the way, but we are dedicated to growth, openness, compassion, and forgiveness. These principles in our work are essential to building successful and healthy relationships with individuals, communities, organizations, and governments.

We look forward to building a path to lead us to a better relationship with Indigenous nations and the environment around us based on peace, friendship, and respect.
