Their stories are personal and explore what can creativity, community, and storytelling teach us about resilience in a changing climate.

Created by Carter Kirilenko and Mitch Bowmile, the film follows Jasper residents Paulette Dubé and Greg Deagle as they turn to writing, photography, and painting to reconnect with themselves, their community, and the landscapes they call home following the 2024 Jasper wildfire.

Thank you, @kamamak_art for sharing your work and teachings with us! Reconciliation is an active, continuous commitment, and we all have a role to play.

The Resilience Institute @resilienceinstitute.ca · 30/09/2026

Small actions can look like practicing how to pronounce “nâkatêyimiwêwin” or learning about the different Indigenous nations and communities that surround you. Reconciliation can also happen through bigger actions like advocating for policy change and Indigenous rights.

The Resilience Institute @resilienceinstitute.ca · 30/09/2026

The bee, “amoo ᐋᒨ”” teaches us this and about reciprocity. Across the world, bees take care of each other, the planet and other species, including us, in big and small ways. The path towards reconciliation is similar where it is important to honour both small and big actions.

100

The Resilience Institute @resilienceinstitute.ca · 30/09/2026

As we continue to deal with the hard “truth” of “truth and reconciliation”, taking care of one another is vital. For us to reconcile, we must reconcile with ourselves—how we thought the world was and how it is now—, with Mother Earth and with each other.

The Resilience Institute @resilienceinstitute.ca · 30/09/2026

We are also sharing and reflecting on a beautiful piece of artwork by our friend, @kamamak_art titled “nâkatêyimiwêwin ᓈᑲᑌᔨᒥᐍᐏᐣ” which means the act of taking caring of one another in Cree. Mackenzie Brown, Kamâmak, is a multifaceted Indigenous artist from Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation in Treaty 8.

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we invite everyone to take a pause—to learn about the Canadian residential school system, to listen to the stories of survivors, and to reflect on the 94 Calls to Action issued by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Communities experiencing climate change are also helping shape the solutions. Women and other underrepresented groups in Belize are using photography & storytelling to document climate impacts and adaptation in their communities. 📸 Read the stories: bit.ly/4g27Kxl

A woman swims underwater in a seagrass area wearing snorkeling gear. Text overlaid reads, "For a long time, many people didn’t know who I was or what I could be used for. That changed when a group of women created the Belize Women’s Seaweed Farmers Association."

Packets of dried seaweed and a bottle of seaweed-based beard serum are displayed on a turquoise surface. Text overlaid reads, "Today, I am more than a crop. I support livelihoods, inspire new tourism opportunities, provide ingredients for products and food, and create habitat for juvenile marine species."

🎒 Take time to get ready for evacuations: - Make an evacuation plan: know the different routes out of your community and have a pre-set meeting place for your family. - Prepare your property: clear leaves, branches, and other flammable materials away from your home and structures.

As one participant said, “To me, resilience means going through the tough and coming out – not necessarily stronger – but growing.”

The Resilience Institute partnered with communities across the interior of #BritishColumbia several years ago, seeking to learn from and amplify the voices of those impacted by the 2017 wildfires. Participants came together from across the province in a journey of healing, reflection, & connection.

The Resilience Institute @resilienceinstitute.ca · 14/08/2026

But #resilience can also be expressed and created in softer ways. Sharing our stories and uplifting the voices of those who have been impacted by climate-induced disasters inspires others and helps create #transformative change.

The Resilience Institute @resilienceinstitute.ca · 14/08/2026

For many living in British Columbia’s Interior, the threat of evacuation has become a recurring theme each summer. This #wildfire season reminds us of the urgency of early preparation, effective fire-management practices, and emergency response plans.

Several years ago, TRI had the privilege of collaborating with people affected by wildfires in #BritishColumbia’s Interior. Their stories represent only a small number of the many people & communities being impacted this year.

The Resilience Institute @resilienceinstitute.ca · 06/08/2026

The Resilience Institute conducted a literature review, facilitated a learning workshop, and learned from our community connections to better understand how natural climate solutions can support #resilience in rural and #Indigenous communities across #Canada.

Nature-based solutions can help communities adapt to #climatechange -- but they are not always implemented in ways that support the needs of local communities. What can we do to bridge this gap? Check out the StoryMap: bit.ly/4wJgkIB Access the full report here: bit.ly/4fIhy0J

Respondents to our questionnaire identified these supports as essential for implementing natural climate solutions: 🌐 Stronger policies and governance 💵 Funding 📚️ Training and education 💬 Partnerships with other organizations 💡 Leadership support #climateadaptation #NbS

Nature-based approaches require long-term #investment. But for many communities facing #climate impacts, funding opportunities remain short-term and project-based.

Large text next to a photo of a tipi reads, "Communities generally support nature-based solutions, but implementation is constrained by funding, governance, capacity, and long-term support." Above in small text reads, "Understanding Natural Climate Solutions as Pathways to Resilience in Rural and Indigenous Communities Across Canada."

Respondents to our questionnaire, "Understanding Natural Climate Solutions as Pathways to Resilience in Rural and #Indigenous Communities Across Canada," explained that they are looking for practical examples, peer learning opportunities, & implementation support, rather than additional theory. #NbS

The Resilience Institute @resilienceinstitute.ca · 28/07/2026

When it comes to nature-based solutions and related concepts, the language used matters. Clear, #accessible terminology may be just as important as the technical concepts themselves!

A chart with three sections next to a photo of a bison. The first section of the chart reads, "61% said they were moderately or very familiar with the concept of Nature-based Solutions." The second: "44% said they were moderately or very familiar with the concept of Ecosystem-based Adaptation." The third: "56% said they were moderately or very familiar with the concept of Natural Capital." Above reads, "Understanding Natural Climate Solutions as Pathways to Resilience in Rural and Indigenous Communities Across Canada."
