Working with You for BC’s Communities
The Fraser Basin Council (FBC) is a charitable non-profit organization that brings people together to advance sustainability in British Columbia. Since 1997 we’ve worked collaboratively on hundreds of initiatives that serve BC communities — to support flood management, community wildfire planning, other disaster risk reduction, energy-efficient buildings, green transportation, watershed planning, air quality improvement, youth-driven climate action projects and much more. With each step, we celebrate the diverse partnerships that make this journey possible.
