BKC attends ICCE 2035

The BKC team was glad to attend ICCE 2025 in Vancouver, connecting with community leaders, Elders, youth, and professionals from across Canada.

We shared how BKC is braiding Indigenous and Western knowledges to support Indigenous-led cumulative effects work.

Thank you to everyone who visited our booth—we’re honoured to be part of this growing network.
