The cross-border region connecting British Columbia and Washington state has long benefited from strong relationships of trust and cooperation. From the protection of our shared environment to the interdependency of our economy to our robust sports rivalries, the vitality and resilience of the region is affected by our cross-border connections, many of which are facing novel challenges. This webinar will discuss how increased tensions are impacting these connections and the efforts to overcome them, including recent legislation aimed at recognizing the interconnected relations between Canada and the people of Washington State.
