We acknowledge our events take place on the unceded territory of the Syilx/Okanagan Peoples and that we are uninvited guests on their ancestral lands. We invite anyone who comes to our events to check out https://www.syilx.org/about-us/syilx-nation/ to learn about, connect with, and endeavour towards reconciliation within our community.
