As part of our work in compensation and valuation methods, we lead the research design and development of a final report assessing and valuing the range of losses experienced by OCN from the construction and operation of the Grand Rapids dam.
We were hired by MaPP to lead the regional harmonisation of 4 sub-regional plan renewal processes. This included the coordination of MaPP partners - B.C. and 17 First Nations - and the facilitation and updating of key documents and collaborative governance frameworks.
We worked with the Union of BC Indian Chiefs and the University of British Columbia Centre for Climate Justice to develop a Community Capacity Toolkit in support of the implementation of the BC First Nations Climate Strategy and Action Plan (BCFNCSAP). The Toolkit synthesizes funding, training, and certification opportunities available to First Nation governments and community members for addressing climate action priorities, and provides an analysis of challenges and opportunities for consideration by UBCIC leadership.
In partnership with The Eskina Collaboration we were hired as a third party evaluator to assess MaPP’s co-governance structures and processes. We used a mixed methods approach, including survey design and implementation, key informant interviews, and data analysis, to present a report with highlighted recommendations for the partnership.
Since 2015, we have worked with the Nuxalk Ancestral Governance Project in Nuxalk territory to research and revitalize Nuxalk legal principles and decision-making protocols. This work is carried out in partnership with the Nuxalk Ancestral Governance office team, Nuxalk Stataltmc (Hereditary Chiefs), and an Advisory Committee of cultural leaders, knowledge holders, youth, and elders.
With colleagues and communities, we have co-led several projects to categorize and assess losses from a range of historical impacts. This work includes the development of innovative methods to quantify both tangible and intangible impacts.
