When we start with shared values, progress is possible

Community Conversations by Resource Works is designed to foster better, more inclusive discussions about important issues.

In recent years, communities across BC have been front and centre in debates around resource development. 

These debates have frequently been far from ideal. Discourse is too often dominated by polarized debate, heated rhetoric and disagreement on basic facts. It is our hope that this report helps to encourage a more productive conversation on resource development at the local level. Without open dialogue, finding common ground is next to impossible.

Our Community Conversations model has been helping create these better conversations since launching in 2014. Here’s where it all started.
