Sarah Hood Leadership

As an uninvited settler on this land I respectfully acknowledge the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples on whose traditional territory I am privileged to live and work, including the W̱SĺḴEM (Tseycum), BOḰEĆEN (Pauquachin) and W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip) peoples of the W̱SÁNEĆ Nation. I am grateful for their stewardship of place, culture, and language on this land colonially referred to as North Saanich and acknowledge my privilege of living here is the result of a long and enduring history of Canada’s racist laws and practices.
