LIVING WATER SMART IN BRITISH COLUMBIA: “We are giving what we can to build something with nothing. It is the collective impact of our team that actually makes something,” stated Cindy Lise, co-lead for the Cowichan Climate Gathering, a collaborative initiative for collective impact
“Keep in mind that the vision is finding a way to take the broad collective and get us paddling the canoe in the same way. How do we as a community take the strengths of everyone of our partners and drive towards a shared goal through aligned activities? We are the choir. We already have this drive, this passion, and this focus to do climate sustainability and resiliency work. But the broader public does not necessarily know that. If we really want this work to be successful, we need to have someone driving the bus all the way. And as a focus of their foundational work,” stated Cindy Lise.
