Indigenous Acknowledgement
The beautiful Okanagan Valley is the ancestral territory of the Syilx/Okanagan people. We would like to acknowledge that we live, work, play, and learn on this traditional and unceded territory. As uninvited guests on this land, we are all fortunate to thrive in such a geographically stunning, resource adbundant, and culturally rich environment.
