The Columbia River Basin is a complex system with a number of federal, provincial, First Nation and local governments involved in the management of the river system. CBT helps create and support mechanisms for Basin residents to actively and meaningfully participate in water management decisions at local and regional levels.
Water Governance Projects
The Canadian Columbia River Forum (CCRF) is made up of seventeen Canadian federal, provincial, regional and First Nation agencies committed to collaborating on water-management initiatives in the trans-boundary reach of the Canadian Columbia River Basin. This forum brings together decision-makers to collaborate on existing and emerging water management issues that influence the Columbia River Basin in Canada. The CCFR activities include examining the Columbia River Treaty and other water management issues between Canada and the US.
