At the heart of Community Food Centre Canada’s work is the belief that food is a basic right. We bring people together around good food so communities can thrive. With more than 350 partners across the country, we build inclusive, culturally responsive Community Food Centres, share knowledge, create health-focused programs, and advocate for equitable policy change.
At Community Food Centres Canada (CFCC), we work on behalf of good food for all. Our collective approach at CFCC is founded on dignity and respect, equity and empathy. These values are core to our mission and outlined in our Good Food Principles.
We especially welcome applications from members of racialized groups, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, persons of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities and others with the skills and knowledge to productively engage with diverse communities.

- Support writing and editing of public-facing policy and advocacy materials. This could range from federal budget submissions to partner toolkits and policy reports.
- Provide support with corporate communications, including editing briefs, speaking notes, memos, and other products, as required.
- Provide writing and editing support for the Communications team around public-facing communications (media releases, website copy, blogs), as required.
- Align with CFCC values and contribute to the evolution of our culture, and a work environment that is grounded in Equity, Respect, Integrity & Accountability, Collaboration & Engagement, Leadership, Innovation and Impact.
Qualifications:
- Post-secondary degree in journalism or communications, or equivalent, with at least 5 years of related experience as an editor or writer

- Demonstrated skill in substantive editing and copy editing
- Proven ability to create content for a range of audiences, formats, and platforms while maintaining a consistent brand voice
- Sophisticated ability to communicate complex topics in plain language

- An inclusive collaborator capable of bringing an anti-oppressive/equity and reconciliation lens to all processes and final products
- Excellent organizational skills
- Detail oriented and self-directed, with the ability to work on multifaceted projects concurrently and meet deadlines in a fast-paced work environment
- Diplomacy and well-developed interpersonal skills
- Mature approach and strong judgment, with a willingness to learn, collaborate and ask critical questions
- Open and receptive to all feedback while providing expertise and strategic guidance in order to meet goals and timelines
- Demonstrated a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through continuous development, modeling inclusive behaviors, and proactively managing bias.
