Acknowledgment
Encompass’ offices and spaces, and the work that we do, are on the sacred, ancestral territories of the Coast Salish people, specifically the qʼʷa:n̓ƛʼən̓ (Kwantlen), q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), Máthekwi (Matsqui) and se’mya’me (Semiahmoo) First Nations, who are the traditional stewards and protectors of this land and its generous resources. These territories are now home to many diverse First Nations, Métis and Inuit. Our work does not start and end with this land acknowledgement; it is one important action towards Reconciliation, honouring the land and Indigenous heritage, which dates back since time immemorial.
This land acknowledgement was developed with the members of the Indigenous Advisory Council; we thank them for their generosity and collaboration.
