Stronger Together: Kootenays Regional Gathering (May 24, 2026)

Join us for an opportunity to connect and learn from peers working in the climate action space in the Kootenays.

Across our region, people are tackling similar challenges, often in parallel and with few opportunities to meaningfully connect. We believe that the best outcomes come from discussion, sharing, learning together and finding ways to collaborate.

This event creates dedicated space to:

• Build relationships across communities and departments within the framework: Purpose + Principles = Partnership
• Discuss the challenges that come up in our work face-to-face and talk about how they may be overcome
• Share our successes, lessons learned, and what you wish others had told you sooner
• Deepen our understanding of Indigenous values and ways of knowing, and explore how these learnings can guide a healthier, more thoughtful approach to planning, collaboration, and service delivery
• Strengthen individual and collective capacity through peer learning
• Explore climate-related topics, framed through the broader lens of collaboration, community resilience, and everyday realities of local government and Indigenous community work
