| A Place of Reflection – To support our community, the City has maintained A Place of Reflection beside the q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie) First Nation flag in šxʷhék̓ʷnəs (Spirit Square). We encourage residents to take a moment to confront the harsh truths of Canada’s colonialist history with Indigenous communities. Embrace the discomfort and acknowledge these truths to forge a shared determination and an equitable future, built on understanding, respect and collective action. |
