Founded in 1999, Dogwood harnesses the power of community organizing to defend our home and counter corporate greed. Driven by a deep love for our neighbours and the places we live, we campaign for climate justice, Indigenous rights and a healthy democracy.

Our work is often political, but never partisan. We tackle issues British Columbians care about deeply, partnering with allies across B.C. as part of a broad network of social movements. Our staff are members of the BCGEU and our volunteers, including board members, come from a wide range of backgrounds.

Where did our name come from? The Pacific Dogwood, _Cornus nuttallii_ or ȻETXIȽĆ in the SENĆOŦEN language, is unique to the west coast and serves as the official flower of B.C.
