Métis people in BC are providing meaningful contributions to the health of the environment and climate, as well as building networks for support when extreme weather events occur in our communities. As stewards and harvesters of the land in British Columbia, Métis people are in a unique position to monitor the natural environment as they go out on the land for food and items of cultural significance. In February 2022, the Province of British Columbia (BC) hosted the Métis Climate Resilience Gathering (the Gathering) in collaboration with Alderhill Planning Inc. and Métis Nation of British Columbia (MNBC) to explore themes of climate resilience through discussions and presentations. To learn more about this workshop, learn what we discussed, and read through some thoughts by community members, including Minister Gladue and Minister Flamond, please check out the following report: Lifestyle as Medicine: The Way We Have Always Lived - Métis Climate Resilience Gathering Summary. Maarsii to everyone who attended and contributed to these valuable discussions.
