Indigenous Guardians Training Needs Scan
Blyth & Bathe was retained by Tides Canada to conduct interviews with Northerners who are involved in Indigenous guardian programs across northern Canada. The primary goal of these interviews was to identify the various processes and programs by which guardians are trained, with the hopes of drawing some broad insights into best practices, knowledge/skills gaps, and the possibility of collaboration among the various groups on future guardian training programs.
