Absolutely. Thank you very much, Kat.
Through the foreshore integrated management planning project, which was originally created by Fisheries and Oceans Canada in the early 2000s, we have developed some pretty exemplary partnerships with indigenous communities across British Columbia to help move this project process forward in the most inclusive way possible.
We have recently co-created a local indigenous knowledge and values framework with the Upper Nicola Band located in Okanagan, B.C., to ensure inclusivity throughout the project.
As Kat mentioned, climate change is a global issue and one that we cannot tackle alone. Collaborations and partnerships have never been more important than they are today. As you mentioned, the Kootenays are an amazing example of how those partnerships and collaborations can propel movement forward.
