Nelson,
We have some exciting news to share and we want you to be among the first to know. Following a global search, we are delighted to announce that Christy Ferguson will be Greenpeace Canada’s new Executive Director.
If Christy’s name is familiar, that’s likely because she’s been a part of Greenpeace Canada for more than 15 years. Beginning as a program assistant, Christy has played many roles in the organization: forest campaigner, Head of the Climate and Energy Campaign, Head of the Arctic Campaign, Program Director, and, for the last several months Interim Executive Director (a role that she’s performed brilliantly!).
This trajectory has given Christy a rare and overarching perspective on Greenpeace’s strengths and challenges, culture and people, as well as a clear vision for our future. She’s led and contributed to some of Greenpeace Canada’s most important campaigns to protect our planet and we’re thrilled she’s bringing her empathy, passion, dedication and courage to this important role at a critical time.
And it is critical a time. As we approach our 50th year of existence as an organization, Greenpeace is needed more than ever. This isn’t necessarily a good thing. The threats to climate, nature and peace are well-documented and accelerating at an alarming pace. But so too is our awareness of them, and the inspiring movement of people – particularly youth – taking action to address them.
Your participation in this movement is so very key and we are incredibly appreciative of the role you play. On behalf of the Board of directors, thank you for your support and your trust. With Christy leading a dedicated and talented team, with your support and that of thousands of other courageous and compassionate people cross Canada, we can still turn this crisis around to bring about the change and solutions our planet needs.

With hope and anticipation,
Brigid Rowan and Anna Crawford
