Training Sessions on the use of Climate Data Portals

On August 4, 2021, the BCAFN hosted the webinar Finding and Using Climate Data for Climate Action, where speakers from the Prairie Climate Centre (PCC), the Canadian Centre for Climate Services (CCCS), and Kanaka Bar Indian Band presented on available portals, platforms and tools that First Nations communities can utilize to access climate data and information to support their climate response.

Following this webinar and with the collaboration of the PCC and the CCCS, we will be hosting free training sessions in the Fall on the use of both platforms, the ClimateData.ca and the Climate Atlas of Canada.

Please fill out the following form and questions which will help BCAFN, PCC and CCCS to prepare for the training sessions.

Please note that your contact information will be used only by BCAFN with the sole purpose of communicating information related to the training sessions. Results from the questions listed below will be shared with CCCS and CPP.
