Founder
About

About Our Founder

At the heart of Foxfire Collective is Dacia Douhaibi, our Founder & Lead Consultant. Based out of Victoria, British Columbia, Dacia leads every Foxfire project. Dacia’s story is interwoven with the themes of migration, belonging, and resilience. The daughter of a refugee from North Africa and a second-generation settler in Canada, she grew up witnessing the ways communities respond to crises - with care, mutual support, and collective problem-solving. These experiences shaped her understanding of justice, interdependence, and the importance of building understanding and trust across differences.

Over the past 15 years, Dacia has supported governments, organizations, and communities across Canada and East Africa to plan for the future, strengthen their systems, and align their work with their values. Her areas of expertise include strategic planning, Indigenous governance, Comprehensive Community Planning (CCP), organizational transformation, and equity-driven facilitation.

Values
Our Approach & Values

We are not about one-size-fits-all solutions. Our core purpose is to help you thrive by building resilient, collaborative futures. We believe values aren't just guiding ideas – they're felt in every room, every relationship, and every outcome. We partner with you using a distinctive approach that is:

Decolonial & Equity-Focused
We challenge colonial structures and embed Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) in every layer of our work, prioritizing reconciliation and inclusive spaces.
Systems-Based, Human-Centered
We analyze problems as interconnected systems to identify root leverage points for change. Our solutions are grounded in human experience to meet real-world needs.
Collaborative & Relational
We prioritize building trusting relational ties and inclusive spaces. Valuing community leadership ensures our collaborations lead to sustainable, effective outcomes.

Rooted in a commitment to Indigenous rights and resurgence, we support First Nations and Indigenous organizations in advancing self-determination and meeting community needs.

Land Acknowledgement

At Fox Fire Collective, we acknowledge with deep respect that our work, both in presence and virtually, is carried out on the unceded and ancestral territories of many First Nations. Our home base is located on the traditional lands of the lək̓ʷəŋən Peoples, known today as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations, and the W̱SÁNEĆ People, whose stewardship of these lands and waters continues to this day.

In our work, we have the privilege of walking alongside over 200 distinct First Nations throughout British Columbia. As uninvited guests on these lands, we are committed to ongoing learning and accountability, grounding our work in principles of decolonization, reconciliation, and justice.

This acknowledgement is not just a statement of place; it is a call to action. We remain committed to disrupting colonial systems and honoring Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination in all facets of our work. We encourage everyone to deepen their own learning about the lands they inhabit and to consider their responsibilities connected to truth and reconcilliation. Visit native-land.ca to learn more about the territories on which you live, work and play.
