I would like to acknowledge that we reside on the unceded shared territory of the Coast Salish people including the Malahat nation, lək̓ʷəŋən nations, W̱SÁNEĆ people, T'Sou-ke Nation, and the Scia'new nation. I thank those people for being the stewards of this land for thousands of years and today. I am so thankful for the opportunity to live, work, and learn upon this amazing land and hope to learn to treat it with the amount of respect our Indigenous peoples have always show it. Hych’ka siem.
