Member, Les Amis du Champ des Possibles
Joshua Wolf trained as an urban planner. He has worked for various municipalities (in Quebec and California) and public organizations, including Héritage Montréal, and the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS). He has also taught university-level courses in urban planning, sustainable development, and public engagement. Joshua has worked with a number of environmental non-governmental organizations, municipal authorities and community groups, including the Centre d’écologie urbaine de Montréal, the Office de consultation publique de Montréal, the Comité des citoyens du Mile End, and Mile End Memories, a committed local history society.
Since 2021, he has served on the Board of Les Amis du Champ des Possibles, contributing to governance and internal management, planning for the organization’s future following land decontamination, and serving as a liaison with the borough. For him, the organization offers, above all, a sanctuary for the other species we share this planet with – a space where coexistence is possible without domination.
