Territory Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that we work on the land that is colonially known as Ucluelet and Tofino, but is the traditional territory of the Ahousaht, Hesquiaht, Tla-o-qui-aht, Toquaht and Yuułuʔiłʔath peoples.

We stand in solidarity with these nations and recognize the need for change in the systems that continue to oppress indigenous people in our community and across the country. We respectfully acknowledge the occupation of stolen land and stand behind the efforts and resiliency of all indigenous people.
