We acknowledge and respect the knowledge and traditions the T’Sou-ke people hold and believe we have much to learn. We believe it is important for children and adults to learn about Indigenous way of being to work towards walking gently upon the earth, repair the damage that has been imparted to the land and to relationships and continue to foster reconciliation.
