Created to close the digital divide, built to support First Nations.
About
Mandated by First Nations leadership, we work alongside communities to build the tools, knowledge, and capacity needed to use technology on their own terms.
Supporting First Nations through technology since 2002.
Founded in 2002, the First Nations Technology Council was created to address the growing digital divide facing First Nations communities in British Columbia. Mandated by the First Nations Leadership Council, we focus on digital skills development, connectivity, information management, and technical services. More than two decades later, our work has grown, but our purpose remains the same: to ensure First Nations have the skills, tools, and infrastructure to use technology on their own terms.
Building digital strength for First Nations.
Mandated by the First Nations Leadership Council, the First Nations Technology Council is the designated organization responsible for advancing digital literacy, improving internet connectivity, and guiding data and digital technology strategy for all 204 First Nations across British Columbia.
Our Vision
Guided by balance, respect, and trust.
We ground our work in balance, respect, and trust. We support the wellbeing of our staff, partners, and the communities we serve, and value each person’s perspective and lived experience. Through transparent, reciprocal relationships, we provide honest guidance so First Nations can rely on us in navigating technology.
