Our teams are grateful to create, play and explore within the traditional territories of the K’ómoks (consisting of the Pentlatch, Ieeksan, Sasitla, Xa’xe and Sathloot people), Wei Wai Kum, We Wai Kai, Homalco, Klahoose, Ka:yu:‘k’t’h’ / Che:k’tles7et’h’, Mowachaht Muchalaht, Ehattesaht Chinehkint, Kwiakah, Tlowitsis, Tla’amin, and Nuchatlaht First Nations.
