About the Clayoquot Alliance

After decades of tensions and upheaval involving First Nation, governments, corporations, environmental organizations and labour, major institutional innovations are now in place in the Clayoquot Sound region on the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The Clayoquot Alliance for Research, Education and Training is a unique partnership, founded with the goals of forging creative links between the University and the communities of Clayoquot Sound, providing a forum in which community interests and needs become academic concerns, and making the education and training resources of the University more accessible in the region.

List of community research needs available online

One of the central purposes of the Clayoquot Alliance is to promote academic research that responds to community needs and concerns. With this intent in mind, Senior Research Associate Barb Beasley has compiled a list of community research needs related to aquaculture, community health, marine resources, and tourism, each identified collaboratively through a number of interviews, meetings and community events. These included:

Our acknowledgements and thanks go to all involved. Questions, comments and additions to this list are welcomed.

Raincoast Host Program

The front-line staff of the hospitality industry is the primary point of interaction between visitors to the Clayoquot region and our communities. Resort staff and the staff of tourism-related businesses respond to countless questions from visitors. The Raincoast Host Program will help ensure that you, the front-line staff, can answer commonly-asked questions about the environment and communities of the Clayoquot Biosphere region, and deliver key messages about how to explore the region safely and respectfully. It will also familiarize you with resources at the Raincoast Interpretive Centre where you can find more information for questions that arise over the tourist season.

Standard of Conduct for Research released

The Protocols Project of the Clayoquot Alliance has released Version 1.0 of its Standard of Conduct for Research in Northern Barkley and Clayoquot Sound Communities. The Standard of Conduct was developed under the guidance of a working group that includes members of the local community and the central region Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations. It is meant to guide Clayoquot Alliance-sponsored research in ways that are mutually beneficial to communities, First Nations and universities alike.
