I’m grateful to live and work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Lək̓ʷəŋən-speaking nations such as the Esquimalt, Songhees, Malahat, Pacheedaht, Schian’exw, T’Sou-ke, and W̱SÁNEĆ. This land holds deep meaning for me, and I honor the Indigenous communities whose enduring connection and stewardship continue to enrich our shared experience. Their wisdom and care for this land inspire me every day.
