Guardian Watchmen Class - November 2009
Northwest Community College - Guardian Watchmen Certificate Program
Guardian Watchmen identified a need for an accredited program focused on monitoring land and water-based resource activities throughout their traditional territories on the Central and North Coast of British Columbia.
In response, Northwest Community College developed and now delivers a certificate-based training program tailored to coastal Guardian Watchmen. The content, design and delivery are uniquely designed to meet the needs of coastal First Nation communities. The certificate program covers the following topics:
- Safety & Preparedness
- Cultural Knowledge & Interpretation
- Communications & Information
- Monitoring & Compliance
- Coastal Natural Resources & Ecology
For more information on the Coastal Guardian Watchmen Training Program, please visit Northwest Community College Guardian Watchmen webpage.
As additional training and professional development opportunities arise that meet the needs of Guardian Watchmen, we will post information here.
