Collingwood Neighbourhood House (CNH) is accepting nominations for its Board of Directors. This is an exciting time to join our Board as we come back from the pandemic and continue to develop as a vibrant organization.

Applicants should live and/or work in Renfrew-Collingwood, have a broad understanding of the neighbourhood and feel committed to becoming engaged in improving all aspects of our neighbourhood. We are interested in hearing from people from all backgrounds and ages but are especially interested in applicants who are between the ages of 16-29 or are 55-plus. We are also interested in hearing from those who live with a disability. This year we have a particular need for those who have experience in healthcare, knowledge of government, have skills in public relations and are experienced in working with underserved populations. We are also particularly interested in applicants from Filipino, Latinx and Indigenous communities.

The CNH Board of Directors is committed to an anti-oppression, anti-racist approach to its work and welcomes those who thrive in a vibrant, welcoming environment.

Applicants should be able to spend 8-10 hours per month on Board-related work and be able to commit to a three-year term, starting this October. The deadline for applications is July 9. If you are interested, please contact Jennifer Gray-Grant at 604-412-3835 or jgray-grant@cnh.bc.ca.
