We acknowledge with respect that this is the traditional territory of the Lək̓ʷəŋən -speaking peoples, known today as the Songhees First Nation, Xwsepsəm First Nation, as well as the WSÁNEĆ Nations and Sc’ianew First Nation, original caretakers of this land. As they continue walking here gently in the way of their ancestors, we seek to do the same.

We recognize that reconciliation is not only about the past, but about how we live together today. As a Christian faith-based organization, we commit to ongoing learning, listening, and acting in ways that uphold Indigenous self-determination and dignity, and reflect the biblical teachings of peace, justice, and love.
