We believe that restoring relationships to each other, the land, and waters is critical to addressing the complexity of integrating flood management, salmon and ecosystems, culture and economy

​

We believe in working with and supporting those most impacted by flooding, salmon loss, and climate change. We work on projects that have explicit First Nation's support, and work to uphold their rights, priorities, knowledge, and capacity

​

We know local governments are overburdened and we will work to support them to adapt to flood risk and climate change.  We seek opportunities and solutions that celebrate farmers and local food security.

​

We believe in working across difference, breaking down silos, and collaboration. We believe in transparency and clear communication.

About our logo: We are honored to carry the Resilient Waters logo, gifted by Carrielynn Victor – Xémontalot. Her design is rooted in the adaptive cycle framework, reflecting the lifecycles of wild Pacific salmon. The colors in the triangles shift in size and gradient, to portray phased approach, growth and life in the waterways directly connected to the lower Fraser
Though Resilient Waters is not a First Nations-led initiative, we hold this gift as a symbol of our commitment to act in good relationship with the land, the waters, and Coast Salish peoples.
