Our Approach

Designed as an initial two-year initiative, the task force emphasizes broad industry input through workshops, focus groups, and consultations. This process ensures everyone feels ownership of the final plan, which will serve as a clear roadmap for sustainable growth and a unified path forward for BC’s wine grape industry.

Working Groups

Within the six working groups, we have two opportunities to participate:

  • Working Group Member:
    Each working group will have between 6 and 10 Members. These individuals will attend regular meetings and help shape and deliver key priorities and projects. They’ll also track progress, respond to emerging issues, and ensure sustainability, inclusion, and knowledge sharing are built into all group activities.
  • Working Group Community:
    This is an open group with unlimited seats for those who want to stay informed, engaged and contribute their knowledge. Community Members will receive early updates, be invited to provide feedback on draft ideas, and help guide the group’s direction through ongoing engagement.
