How we work

OCHRe has a Cultural and Community Council which develops and oversees our community priorities, engagement strategy and accountability.

The First Nations-led Council oversees the overall strategy of the National Network, including accountability, impact, and outcomes, while ensuring community priorities and engagement are central to OCHRe.

The Executive Group (EG) is the decision-making body for OCHRe. Its role is to ensure the success of OCHRe by meeting the scientific, strategic, and fiduciary goals, including securing ongoing funding. The EG will make decisions about the operations and strategic direction of OCHRe.
