Congratulations! There might be some synergies with our new BC-NS capacity building initiative for Nature based solutions.
Love to hear this. My personal climate journey began in part when our sea villages in Eastern Quebec got hit by a massive winter storm, exacerbated by no sea ice to mitigate causing major damage to Perce (that town is pictured in your image)

4wExcited to see this project take shape! The Government of the Northwest Territories also received funding for its coastal communities under this funding. Perhaps some opportunities for collaboration in the future?
