ECO Canada Launches ECOWorks Career Fair to Strengthen Alberta’s Environmental Workforce

Calgary, AB, November 20th, 2025: ECO Canada is proud to announce the launch of ECOWorks Career Fair, Alberta’s first in-person green hiring fair, designed to connect environmental employers with top-tier talent across the province.

 The 2025 Calgary Career Fair will take place on November 27, 2025, at Mount Royal University’s Ross Glen Hall, bringing together professionals, students, and newcomers passionate about sustainability and the green economy.

With over 200 attendees expected, ECOWorks will feature organizations from the Energy sector—including Cleantech and Hydrogen—and highlight subsectors such as Environmental Goods and Services and environmentally-forward industries like Petroleum, Renewables, Nuclear, Smart Homes, Energy Efficiency, and Electric Vehicles.

With funding support from the Government of Alberta, this event is free for job seekers, removing financial barriers for new Canadians, recent graduates, and mid-career professionals.

 

A Strategic Partnership with the Government of Alberta

This initiative is made possible through a strategic partnership between ECO Canada and the Government of Alberta, as represented by the Ministry of Jobs, Economy, Trade, and Immigration. Under the Workforce Partnerships Grant Program, the Government of Alberta has committed to supporting this unique initiative titled C-NER-Gs: Cultivating and Nurturing Employer Readiness for Green Growth.

Reconnaissance des terres

Dans un esprit de respect, de réciprocité et de vérité, nous honorons et reconnaissons Moh’kinsstis, le territoire traditionnel du Traité 7 et les pratiques orales de la confédération des Pieds-Noirs : Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, ainsi que les nations Îyâxe Nakoda et Tsuut’ina. Nous reconnaissons que ce territoire abrite la Nation métisse de l’Alberta, la région 3 au sein de la patrie historique des Métis du Nord-Ouest. Enfin, nous reconnaissons toutes les nations qui vivent, travaillent et se divertissent sur ce territoire, et qui l’honorent et le célèbrent.

Land Acknowledgment

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, we acknowledge that we live, work, and gather on the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, including the Blackfoot Confederacy—comprising the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations—as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina Nations.

This land, known as Moh’kinsstis in the Blackfoot language and encompassing what is now Districts 5 and 6, is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3, within the historical Northwest Métis homeland.

We recognize and honour the deep connection these Nations have to the land, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share in its stewardship.

As we continue our work, we commit to learning from Indigenous knowledge systems, uplifting Indigenous voices, and fostering relationships rooted in equity, understanding, and reconciliation.
