SHIFT Collaborative

Congratulations to Tara Mahoney, Khari McClelland and Dr. Kari Grain on this thoughtful resource, "Facilitation for Community Transformation." With special appreciation for the real-world list of things facilitators can and cannot control!

A strong understanding of public opinion and the ways Canadians make meaning of climate change at this time is central for so many of us working in this space. Many thanks to Re.Climate and collaborators for pulling this work together!

Opportunity alert for organizations and students!

We're always asking the question: "What can we do together that we can't do alone?" Many thanks to the organizations doing the important work of #collaborativeleadership and to The Victoria Foundation for supporting and convening. Check out their funding opportunities for more community collaborations! https://bit.ly/3Bw7su9

We've had the great honour to work with this mighty team of people over the past few years. Check out this opportunity to join them and support their critical work on #climateandhealth and #climateresilience in the heath system. Kerri Klein Olive Dempsey

As the National Day for #TruthAndReconciliation approaches, a timely reflection from Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions and Janna Wale, especially this closing sentence; "Reconciliation is an action word: In the words of the Honourable Murray Sinclair, 'We have described for you a mountain. We have shown you the path to the top. We call upon you to do the climbing.'"

Great to see support for links between #climateresilience, #foodsecurity and #health in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities through this United Way British Columbia Climate Resilient Communities Food Infrastructure Grant! "The United Way BC Climate Resilient Communities: Food Infrastructure Grant (FIG), in partnership with The Ministry of Health, is a funding program that supports rural, remote, and Indigenous communities to build food systems resilience." "The program aims to support community food-based organizations adopt local, climate adaptive solutions for growing, harvesting, foraging, procuring, storing, and processing local, and traditional foods. With the support of the FIG program, communities can improve access to nourishing and culturally preferable foods while fostering community health, resiliency and food security." https://lnkd.in/gHXKFrQD

It's #climateweek and #facilitationweek, two topics that are at the centre of our work. Tools like the #threehorizonsframework can be an important support for organizations as they navigate the multiple scales of change needed at this critical moment. Grateful for Simon Fraser University's excellent overview of this model! Kerri Klein Olive Dempsey https://lnkd.in/gdrKkakT
