BKC now expands beyond Canadian mountain regions as a natural evolution building upon the successes of CMN. While honouring and continuing to support CMN\u2019s original focus on place-based and Indigenous-knowledge research, BKC will follow the waters from the mountains to the coasts, towards the opportunity to share and learn with a larger and more diverse group of researchers, trainees, and knowledge users in Canada.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
