The Coastal First Nations Great Bear Initiative (CFN) promotes community self-sufficiency and sustainable economic development on BC’s North and Central Coast and Haida Gwaii.

CFN communities are working together to build a strong, conservation-based economy that recognizes their Title and Rights and protects their culture and ecosystems.
