As grateful settlers, we acknowledge, respect, live, learn, play, and work on the traditional and unceded lands of the Tla’amin and Shíshálh First Nations. This recognition is fundamental to our collective identity and guides our actions with sincerity and humility. We honor the enduring stewardship of these lands by their peoples and commit ourselves to ongoing reconciliation efforts within our community. Through this commitment, we seek to foster meaningful relationships, uphold indigenous rights, and contribute to a future grounded in respect, inclusivity, and shared understanding. We are grateful, deeply grateful.
