Abstract
This research aims to advance knowledge in international cooperation by exploring the experiences of civil society organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and related stakeholder groups in British Columbia’s small towns and cities. Past research on international cooperation in Canada has focused on large urban centres with far less attention to small cities and towns. Yet international cooperation NGOs are actively engaged in creating partnerships in many of these communities, including Northern sites. Findings were centered around five major themes: Connectedness; Capacity Building; Local-Global Connection, Tools and Strategies for Community Action; Community Challenges.
