Territorial Acknowledgment

With deep respect, I acknowledge that the municipalities of Sooke, Esquimalt, and Saanich are located on the traditional, unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the T'Sou-ke Nation, Xwsepsum Nation, Songhees Nation,  and Scia'new Nation. I recognize the enduring relationship these Nations have with the lands and waters, and I am committed to listening, learning, and working together toward reconciliation, equity, and a better future for all.
