Our diverse partners include government agencies, Indigenous organizations, non-government organizations, and academic and research institutions.

Our partnership consists of voting and non-voting Steering Committee members that regularly engage by joining working groups, collectively determining programmatic priorities and organizational structure for the NWBP, collaborating on projects, and, when possible, providing in-kind support, funding, or capacity.
