Research & Collaboration
We lead research projects and convene working groups to advance sustainable, equitable, and socially just land use.
Research Projects
From time to time, REFBC undertakes its own projects, either in partnership with other organizations or independently, to achieve outcomes that further our mission.
Working Groups
We believe that collaboration, especially between non-traditional partners, can spark fresh ideas and bolster a project, initiative or movement’s chance of success. To support our grantmaking and advance our interests in sustainable, equitable, and socially just land use practices, REFBC plays a role as a convener and connector.
“Through this work, we are constantly reminded that water is the basis for all life, and how important it is to share the Indigenous value of Interconnectedness, to collaborate and share our knowledge, teachings, and work together ‘in order to get to a good place in a good way.’”
— Jordan Point, Executive Director, First Nations Fisheries Council of BC
