“Since time immemorial, Sməlq'míx people have walked gently on the diverse traditional territories. We would like to respectfully acknowledge that we are gathered today on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Sməlq'míx People, which is home to the Upper Similkameen Indian Band. We are grateful to express our respect, and raise our hands in gratitude for the honour to live, work, learn and play in their unceded territory, and we thank them for their hospitality.”
