Adaptation Canada 2020 is a wrap!

Thank you, everyone, for your enthusiastic response to Adaptation Canada 2020. The conference was so popular we had to greatly increase capacity — and we're so glad we did.

The conference brought together over 700 adaptation strategists and practitioners, Indigenous peoples, policy-makers and researchers from governments, academia, business and communities together to learn from each other and create collective calls to action on key topics that have strong potential to accelerate progress on adaptation. You all made this event the success that it was — and our team at the Fraser Basin Council is grateful.

Thanks for the Memories
