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.

As we work towards reconciliation, we strive to acknowledge and honour these Nations by sharing stories that respect and celebrate their regions. We are forever indebted to the Indigenous Peoples who have cared for this land since time immemorial.
