About ICCE

The Indigenous Centre for Cumulative Effects (ICCE) is an independent organization that supports Indigenous communities to undertake cumulative effects work. ICCE is a non-political organization and remains neutral on issues. ICCE is independently operated by Indigenous people. 

The primary objective of ICCE is to help build and enhance the technical and scientific capacity of Indigenous communities to address cumulative effects, based on the values of First Nations, MÃĐtis and Inuit communities across Canada. ICCE is a network for Indigenous communities to access information, resources and best practices about cumulative effects.

ICCE recognizes there is much to draw from both Indigenous and Western-based knowledge. Navigating cumulative effects can be complex, but is rich with opportunity, and the Indigenous Centre for Cumulative Effects seeks to be a support to guide a community’s path.

Inclusive Travel Bursary

ICCE values equitable access to its activities and events. For those reasons, ICCE created the Conference Inclusiveness Travel Bursary. 

We are now accepting applications for a limited number of bursaries to be awarded to representatives who identify as Indigenous persons or are working with an Indigenous community/organization (up to two individuals). It is ICCE’s hope that these bursaries will help individuals attend our annual conference and, therefore, help to build their knowledge and capacity surrounding cumulative effects issues in their communities. In addition, we hope the bursary recipients’ insights, knowledge, and experience will be shared with other delegates at the event and thus enrich the conference experience for all.

A successful applicant must meet the following criteria: 

  • Identify as an Indigenous individual or be working with an Indigenous community/organization.
    *Preference will be given to Elder and Youth applicants.
