Land Acknowledgment

We are honoured to offer you these services on the traditional, ancestoral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples. Particularly, we acknowledge with respect Quw’utsun’ Tribes, Stz’uminus First Nations, the Penelakut Tribe, Ditidaht First Nation, Malahat First Nation, Pacheedaht First Nation, Halalt First Nation, the Lyackson First Nation and the Metis Nation. It is because of the ongoing care and protection of these lands by these Nations that we are able to work alongside you here, and for that we are truly grateful. With open hearts and respectful curiosity, CVYS is committed to decolonizing practices and offering spaces and programming that is safe and inclusive. Thank you.
