We acknowledge that this event takes place on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples–Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. We also acknowledge the incredible resilience of Indigenous peoples in the face of centuries of trauma caused by colonization, genocide, and ongoing racism.
