The Ecology Action Centre (EAC) is a not-for-profit Halifax-based environmental activist organization founded in 1971. The organization has worked with communities on issues including recycling, transportation, urban development, energy, agriculture, forestry, uranium mining, marine, coastal, and energy issues, the built environment, wilderness, food, and transportation. The EAC works closely with scientific communities and incorporates scientific data into its messages and policy recommendations.
The EAC's operations staff is directed by a board of elected individuals from across the province. The first board had five directors; later there were as many as23. Directors are closely involved in fundraising, participate in setting general policy, and act in advisory capacities. Prominent past members include Halifax-Chebucto NDP MLA Howard Epstein (1991-1994). Committees are an integral part of the EAC's administrative structure; they serve specific areas and act somewhat independently within the organization, holding meetings and organizing public events for educational purposes. The committee structure has evolved over time, with new committees or sub-committees being formed in response to needs.

- Person
James Charles Philip Dumaresq was born in Sydney, Nova Scotia, in 1844, the second son of Charles Whitikin Frederic Augustus Dumaresq and Christianna McDonald. He was educated in Sydney and at Horton Academy in Wolfville. From 1868 to 1869 he was working as a carpenter in Sydney, and by the early 1870s he had established an architectural business in Halifax.
Dumaresq designed many public buildings in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, including the New Brunswick Leglisture (1882), the Forrest Building at Dalhousie College (1887), and St. Ambrose Roman Catholic Church in Yarmouth (1890). His domestic work included a Queen Anne Revival “cottage” on Young Avenue in Halifax and plans for a simple duplex. He also designed shops and storefronts.
In 1873, Dumaresq married Maudline Matilda McDonald, with whom he had two sons and four daughters. His son, Sydney Perry, joined his father in 1899 to form J.C. Dumaresq and Son. James Dumaresq passed away in 1906.
