Objectives

​

• Hear traditional Squamish stories about community resilience and the Great Flood.

• Learn about next steps for regional resilience in BC, emerging from URBC 2020 sessions convened by government agencies, planners and engineers, non-profits, FN health authority, and more. Session convenors will report on key highlights from the 'initiatives in focus sessions'.

• Be entertained by comedy improv on the theme of disaster risk reduction.

• Featured speakers will reflect on URBC outcomes and how ‘big moves ’ can be implemented to advance a less risky, more resilient future for Southwest BC. Together we’ll consider a road map for continuing to advance collaboration and innovation.
