Networking BC Rivers is a project of Simon Fraser University's Faculty of Education, with the support of The BC School Superintendents Association, the BC School Trustees Association, and the British Columbia Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks.
    During 1995-96 the project, then titled Networking the Fraser, was funded by a grant from the Partners in Science Awareness Program, BC Ministry of Employment and Investment, with additional support from BCTel Discovery Learning and the major sponsors.
    In 1996-97 funding for Networking BC Rivers has been provided by the Habitat Conservation Fund of British Columbia. This funding has enabled the expansion of the original Networking the Fraser project to include the watersheds of the Peace, Columbia, and Skeena rivers, as well as that of the Fraser.
