We acknowledge with respect that our work and relationships take place across the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of many Indigenous Nations throughout British Columbia. As settlers and guests on these lands, we recognize the ongoing impacts of colonialism, racism, and structural violence against Indigenous peoples. We hold deep gratitude for the Knowledge Keepers and Elders—past, present, and emerging—whose wisdom and stewardship continue to sustain these lands and communities. This acknowledgement reflects our continual commitment to learning, reflection, and action toward reconciliation.

Where wounds become wisdom, and healing happens together.
