Our Priorities

Rivers, lakes, and wetlands form freshwater networks that sustain people, ecosystems, cultures, and economies.

We’re interested in projects that build community capacity for watershed governance, inform decisions through Indigenous-led and community-based water stewardship, and support First Nations and local communities to manage and protect our shared water in a changing climate.

The built environment includes all the “physical stuff” a community is made of — including homes and buildings, energy systems, public transit, parks, roads, and trails — and the planning that ties everything together.

We’re interested in projects that integrate land use and transportation planning, build a case for climate resilient development, address social inequity, and support collaboration between First Nations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and local governments.

As part of a sustainable food system, land for growing and gathering food must be protected now and for future generations.

We’re interested in projects that center Indigenous knowledge and stewardship, increase options for land access and tenure, promote intergenerational learning, and build partnerships between First Nations and diverse communities.

Real estate professionals play an important role as advisors, collaborators, and community champions.

We’re interested in projects that help real estate professionals grow their knowledge of Indigenous rights, climate solutions, and social justice in land use; promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in the industry; and contribute to reconciliation, climate action, and the public interest.
