We are pleased to announce the release of the 'Considering Climate Risks for Solar and Biomass Renewable Energy Projects' report, a new resource designed to help communities and practitioners in developing their solar and biomass renewable energy projects.

The report highlights:

▶️valuable insights and lessons from existing projects

▶️key findings from Canadian and international literature

▶️interviews from communities and key actors in renewable energy

While communities and industry players are developing strategies to mitigate climate risks, more support and knowledge-sharing are needed to ensure that Canada’s renewable energy infrastructure can withstand the changing climate.

We are proud to continue our commitment to making EV charging more accessible for British Columbians 🚗⚡

Since 2017, our Plug In BC EV Advisory Service has provided free, expert guidance to strata councils, property managers, building owners, and workplaces navigating the path to EV charging infrastructure. We’ve helped communities across BC cut through the complexity and move toward cleaner transportation.

With a renewed three-year mandate under the CleanBC Go Electric program, we’re expanding our reach to underserved communities, including Indigenous housing providers and rural and remote areas, while continuing to provide the personalized, no-cost support our clients count on. If your strata, workplace, or housing organization is exploring EV charging, our advisors can help with free support.

The FBC Youth Program is happy to share about the success of a recent project: Think Twice. This project was done in partnership with Mission Environmental Stewardship Society (MESS) and a local Mission middle school. With the generous support of TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, this partnership provided grade 7 students with hands-on experiential workshops about land stewardship.

During the workshops, students developed messages about land stewardship and made biodegradable pots out of recycled paper collected from school grounds. The pots were filled with native plant seeds and given out to the Mission community at MESS’s Earth Day 2026 Event on April 25th at Fraser River Heritage Park.

Thank you to TD Friends of the Environment Foundation for making this project possible, and to the wonderful students and teachers for their enthusiasm and commitment towards land stewardship!

This , we are excited to share positive salmon news!🐟

Salmon-Safe BC, a program of the Fraser Basin Council, has announced today that Osoyoos Larose Winery has successfully achieved a 3-year Salmon-Safe recertification.

Located on the slopes of Osoyoos Lake, Osoyoos Larose Winery has demonstrated a strong commitment to meeting Salmon-Safe Agricultural Standards including water conservation, natural pest management, and organic nutrient management on site.

Their assessor gave kudos to the winery for many sustainable features such as:
• Erosion management and improved drainage infrastructure,
• Advanced irrigation control for precise irrigation delivery at block level,
• Sophisticated integrated pest management program with only organic products
used, and
• Partnerships with local stewardship organizations to leverage Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) funding to further improve water management and provide habitat to local species.

We commend Osoyoos Larose Winery for their commitment to sustainable agriculture and taking steps to protect their local waterways and salmon.🌊
