Scott Meunier, Instructional Designer
M.Ed.
My entire life is shaped by the oilpatch. The oil and gas industry has fed, clothed, educated and employed me throughout my childhood and career.
My first memories include sleepy mornings going with my Dad to his job as a battery operator. My first paying job included long hours swamping on a vacuum truck serving the rigs around our small town. And now, as a father myself, my biggest challenge is ensuring that my children also have sustainable ways to make a living for themselves.
Witnessing the highs and lows associated with the volatility of the oil and gas sector has also shaped me. I am committed to doing what I can to support workers transitioning to careers in climate solutions so there are multiple ways for people to make a living producing energy both now and for generations to come.

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.
