Southern Gulf Islands

Last updated

We are grateful to live and work on the Southern Gulf Islands and acknowledge that the lands and waters that encompass the islands have been home to Indigenous peoples since time immemorial, part of the traditional unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations and Hul’quimi’num Treaty Group.

Overview
