We respectfully acknowledge that our association’s activities occur on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
We recognize the enduring presence of Indigenous Peoples who have stewarded these lands since time immemorial and honour their ongoing connection to this territory. We express our gratitude for the opportunity to gather, learn, and celebrate on these lands and commit to cultivating respectful relationships with the Indigenous communities whose lands we now share.
As we move forward, let us strive for reconciliation, equity, and justice for all peoples and uphold the principles of reconciliation, reciprocity, and respect in all our endeavours.
