- Develop relationships with Indigenous communities and organizations in BC
- Coordinate and collaborate with partner organizations to ensure Indigenous communities and organizations in BC are well served
- Collaborate with a variety of knowledge holders and experts to ensure content and tool development occurs from an integrated perspective

- Research, design and write content for Indigenous climate service users that meets their needs

**Knowledge & Experience**
