TRADITIONAL TERRITORIES LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

As we hike and run on this land, it is essential to acknowledge and appreciate the traditional owners: the Quw’utsun, Halalt, Malahat, Ts’uubaa-asatx, Penelakut, Stz’uminus, and Lyackson Peoples. Their connection to the land spans generations. We are thankful for the opportunity to enjoy its beauty and tranquillity.
