Conservation Halton was created to protect, restore and manage the natural resources in our watershed but we have grown to become so much more. Today, we protect our communities and conserve our natural environment through planning, education and recreation and to support our partners in the creation of sustainable communities within our watershed.
We are looking to build our team with the kind of inspired, ambitious, and strategic people that are not satisfied with the status quo, are excited by the opportunity in every challenge and are driven by meaningful, measurable results. If you are looking to join an environmentally focused and socially conscious community organization, then we are looking for you!
Conservation Halton is proud to be recognized as one of Hamilton-Niagara’s Top Employers and one of Canada’s Greenest Employers.
