Stronger together
FNFC Strategic Plan (2025–2030)
FNFC’s new strategic plan for 2025–2030 is designed to better align with FNFC’s growth and evolving priorities. The plan is anchored by three streams that will guide us in answering a fundamental question: How can we best support First Nations in BC. These streams underscore our commitment to protecting, reconciling, and advancing First Nations' Aboriginal Title and Rights, as well as Treaty Rights, in relation to fisheries and the health and protection of aquatic ecosystem.
FNFC's Streams of Strategic Action
FNFC’s three streams create a continuous loop of improvement and adaptation. Strong governance structures strengthen partnerships which in turn, enhance operational capacity and support sustainability initiatives, reinforcing governance and community trust. This circular relationship ensures that FNFC remains adaptive and responsive to the needs of First Nations communities, continuously evolving to meet the challenges of fisheries management and environmental stewardship.
Through this integrated approach, FNFC ensures that First Nations have a significant and equitable role in speaking for fish, safeguarding their culture and Rights, protecting fish populations, and promoting sustainable resource management for generations to come.
Our focus is developing effective governance mechanisms, forming collaborative relationships, and working with First Nations to help them speak with a strong and unified voice on fisheries. Working together enables First Nations to harness the collective capacity needed for meaningful engagement and participation in the governance, planning and management of Pacific fisheries and aquatic resources.
