Community to Community Forum
Applications are not currently being accepted for this program.
In January 1997, UBCM and the First Nations Summit (FNS) jointly organized the first province-wide Community to Community (C2C) Forum. This event brought together First Nation and local government community leaders from across BC to discuss common goals and opportunities for joint action. The success of the event was due to a spirit of goodwill and an open exchange of concerns, ideas, and constructive viewpoints. There was consensus among the participants that C2C Forums at regional and local levels should be encouraged.
Since 1999, with continued support from the provincial Ministry of Community & Rural Development and Indian & Northern Affairs Canada (BC Region), close to 300 Regional C2C Forums have been held in communities across the province and more than 140 local governments and close to 200 First Nations and aboriginal organizations have participated.2009/10 Regional C2C Forum Program - Fall
