Best Activist Organization

After 34 years of saving the planet, how does the Ecology Action Centre keep itself vital? According to managing director Mark Butler, it’s as simple as listening to the EAC’s 700-plus membership. “It’s a pretty grassroots approach,” says Butler. “We don’t have a board that says these are the five areas that we’re going to work on for the next five years, and go out and do them. What we work on depends on the motivation of our members.” 1568 Argyle, 429-2202
