Alex Neufeldt, External Relations Manager
BAH English Literature/International Development Studies from the University of Winnipeg | MA in Cinema and Media Studies from the University of Toronto
Alex has lived and worked in Alberta, Manitoba, and Ontario, and has learned a lot about how climate action and extraction politics play out in different provincial contexts. From government internships to divestment activism to environmental journalism, her career has given her opportunities to talk to a lot of different people about their experiences with climate, pollution, labour and industry. Her passion for clear, effective communications around climate and technology led them to pursue an MA at the University of Toronto, where they studied STEM media cultures and strategies for effective technical communication. Her role as External Relations Manager at Iron & Earth draws on years of experience in marketing, journalism, science communication strategies, policy development, and the education and training sector. She is excited to connect with people from all walks of life about what a more sustainable future might look like and how they see themselves and their work fitting into it.

Iron & Earth was founded within Treaty 6 Territory and within the Métis homelands and Métis Nation of Alberta Region 4. We acknowledge this land as the traditional territories of many First Nations, including the Nehiyaw (Cree), Denesuliné (Dene), Nakota Sioux (Stoney), Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot).
Iron & Earth acknowledges that our work takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of Indigenous Peoples across Canada. We recognize the ongoing impacts of colonialism and the deep connection that Indigenous communities have with the land, water, and environment. Our commitment to a Just Transition is informed by Indigenous land stewardship principles. We are dedicated to fostering partnerships with Indigenous communities, respecting their sovereignty, and learning from their knowledge and traditions. We strive to ensure that our initiatives are inclusive and support community-driven climate solutions, contributing to a sustainable and equitable future for all. We honor the diverse histories, languages, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples and commit to continuing our journey of learning and reconciliation as we work together toward a thriving green economy.
