Dogwood Initiative is a Canadian non-profit group based in Victoria, British Columbia. Conceived in autumn 1998 at a meeting of First Nations, environmentalists, community advocates, and labour leaders, Dogwood Initiative began operating in 1999.
Dogwood Initiative helps people in BC change the balance of power to create healthy, prosperous communities by promoting dialogue, facilitating collaborative action and creating leverage.
They help communities and First Nations gain more control of the land and resources around them so they can be managed in a way that does not rob future generations for short-term corporate gain. This sounds simple, but to the corporate executives and bureaucrats who control most of BC’s public land, community control-sustainable land reform-is a ground-shaking idea. But a growing number of British Columbians are convinced that it is not only possible, but essential to the survival of their communities.
