Transformative Actions for UNDRIP Advancement

At the Real Estate Foundation of BC, we are on a path of reconciliation that is grounded in truth. We are striving to embrace the opportunities of working in the spirit of reciprocity, building good relationships, decolonizing our ways of knowing and working, and upholding the rights and responsibilities of First Nations and Indigenous Peoples.

As part of our commitment to reconciliation and upholding the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), we released our Transformative Actions for UNDRIP Advancement (TAUA) plan in September 2024. TAUA set the course for REFBC on how to meaningfully and transparently advance UNDRIP in its granting, governance, and operations.

The TAUA was developed through a partnership between REFBC and the inaugural REFBC UNDRIP Fellow, Tara Marsen/Naxginkw. The process to identify 50 concrete transformative actions prioritized Indigenous experience, knowledge, and direction.

As part of this framework, REFBC is committed to reporting annually on progress toward each of the 50 actions. In November 2025, we published our first annual progress report.

We report on this work and share our learnings in a spirit of humility, self-reflection, and a commitment to growth. Thank you for being part of this journey.
