The First Nations Watershed Planning Guidebooks are plain language guides that introduce the watershed planning process, with a focus on community engagement and use of Indigenous Knowledge. The guidebooks present examples of First NationsÕ perspectives on water, including examples from our First Nation partnersÕ own experiences. They are broad enough to apply to watershed planning in any region of Canada and may be used at any stage in the watershed planning process. These guidebooks present and explore key tasks you need to consider for your planning process.
The second volume, Building Partnerships: Collaborative Relationships, helps bring new partnerships closer together by suggesting ways to gather and share stories with the people who live, work and play in the watershed. It explores ways to facilitate wider community engagement
to share ideas, and to gather input on the plan and peoples concerns and priorities.
