Description

The stewardship of Alberta's resources requires informed decision-making at local, regional, and provincial scales based on the best available knowledge from multiple knowledge systems. In the interest of advancing Indigenous community-based monitoring (ICBM) in Alberta, interviews were conducted with participants from 51 First Nations and Métis organizations across Alberta. The resulting report provides a snapshot of the ICBM landscape in Alberta, related to needs, interests and readiness to engage in community-based monitoring from the lens of First Nations and Métis organizations between 2015 and 2018.
