The Real Estate Foundation of BC (REFBC) is a philanthropic organization working to advance sustainable, equitable, and socially just land use across BC. We fund projects, connect people, and share knowledge.
“Being a land steward is a practice that Indigenous Peoples have upheld since time immemorial. I look forward to returning the land to its natural state so the ecosystem can thrive again.”
