Are you passionate about climate action and Toronto’s municipal politics? Do you have a knack for policy analysis and City Council processes? We are looking for a dedicated Municipal Policy Researcher and Analyst to join our Climate Voting Records Toronto team!
What You’ll Do:
As a Municipal Policy Researcher and Analyst, you will play a crucial role in our work. Your responsibilities will include:
- Conducting in-depth research on City Council and committee meeting agendas and minutes.
- Identifying and analyzing motions and policies with a direct impact on Toronto’s climate goals (e.g., TransformTO Net Zero Strategy).
- Documenting and tracking individual councillor votes on specific climate-related items.
This is a fantastic opportunity to use your skills for a high-impact, community-based initiative. We will also provide training on how to navigate the Toronto Meeting Management Information System (TMMIS). If you are a student, recent graduate, or professional looking to contribute to a meaningful project and gain hands-on experience in public policy, we want to hear from you!
Additional information:
Climate Voting Records Toronto is an independent website that tracks the climate-related voting records of Toronto city councillors. The website provides information to members of the public – now and at election time – enabling voters to gauge the climate and environmental stance of their mayor and councillors. It may also be a resource for climate groups looking to do related research.
This website is an initiative of ClimateFast – a volunteer-based, grassroots community group, dedicated to building strong, informed public pressure to take urgent, substantial, and just action on our climate crisis in Toronto.
