Who We Work With
Through these five focus areas, we’re committed to supporting Indigenous people, community organizations, seniors, people with disabilities and all levels of government, including First Nations.
How We Do It
We start at the beginning by gathering comprehensive data about BC communities.
We use what we learn to identify needs, create plans to meet them, and share what we learn with communities
and local governments to effect genuine change.
