Land Acknowledgement

RISEBRIDGE acknowledges that we are guests on the unceded and ancestral territories of the Snuneymuxw, Stz’uminus, Snaw'naw'as, Kwakwaka’wakw and Qualicum first nations, allowing us to connect with communities in BC’s Interior, Lower Mainland, Central & Northern Vancouver Island. We are grateful for their care and wisdom of this land. RISEBRIDGE is committed to working towards reconciliation and the ongoing process of decolonization as we continue our work in the community.
