WEBINAR - Coast Adapt Initial Release: See It, Try It, Shape It
Wednesday, October 7, https://bit.ly/4ANtBCh

CoastAdapt is a new bilingual platform designed to help coastal communities and practitioners across Canada find the tools, guidance, and resources they need to prepare for coastal change.

Fraser Basin Council is pleased to partner with the Climate Risk Institute to support engagement in British Columbia to help shape this resource.

Join the Climate Risk Institute for a guided walkthrough of the initial release of CoastAdapt, learn what the platform offers, and find out how you can help shape its continued development.

This session is for anyone working on or interested in coastal adaptation, including municipal staff, planners, Indigenous and community organizations, practitioners, researchers and decision-makers.

Your feedback will help shape how CoastAdapt develops, so we hope you'll take a look and help us make it as useful as possible for coastal communities.

On September 30, we recognize National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day. It is a time to honour Survivors of residential schools, remember the children who never returned home, and acknowledge the lasting impacts of colonialism on Indigenous peoples, families, and communities across Canada.

Publicly recognizing the tragedy of Residential Schools is an important step toward reconciliation. We take this day to acknowledge the generational trauma and hardships experienced by Residential School survivors and their families. We also take this day to honour survivors who demonstrate strength and resilience. Most importantly, we take this day to focus on action.

Please use this day wisely and intentionally. Reflect on how the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action can be implemented in your work, dedicate time for learning about the history and legacy of colonization in Canada and consider what you can do to sincerely advance Reconciliation.

See our National Day for Truth and Reconciliation page for more information, resources and events in B.C.
