Braiding Knowledges Canada (BKC)

Braiding Knowledges Canada (BKC) is a not-for-profit corporation established in 2024 to continue the pioneering work of the Canadian Mountain Network (CMN), extending its impact beyond mountain landscapes across Canada.

We have a broader focus which covers monitoring and understanding environmental changes to inform conservation, restoration, and adaptation strategies. Our ultimate goal is to enhance the well-being of All Our Relations, encompassing the land, humans, plants, animals, and all living and non-living forms.

We are building on the groundbreaking work of CMN, with a renewed commitment to leading Reconciliation through Research, elevating Indigenous and local knowledge in public policy, and enhancing holistic environmental, social and cultural understanding, by braiding Indigenous and Western knowledge systems. We provide support to and work on the ground with Indigenous researchers, communities, government, as well as many diverse partners.
