Territory Acknowledgment

 

West Coast Kids Cancer Foundation staff work and provide services to families across the lands of Indigenous nations in the region currently known as British Columbia, with our head office located on the traditional, unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh-ulh Temíx̱w (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ təməxʷ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. 

 

We acknowledge that colonialism has made invisible their histories and connections to the land. As an organization and as individuals, we are at the beginning of our journey of collaboration, education, and decolonization. We are committed to continued learning so we can give voice to the truth and build relationships with the people whose lands we are on.
