Land Acknowledgement

We humbly and respectfully acknowledge that our work takes place on the stolen territories of lәk̓ʷәŋәn-speaking peoples, which includes the Xwsepsum (ko-sap-sum), also known as the Esquimalt, the lәk̓ ʷәŋәn (le-KWUNG-en), also known as the Songhees, as well as the SENĆOŦEN sen-chaw-thin), Malchosen, Semiahmoo, and T’Sou-ke speaking W̱SÁNEĆ (wh-say-nuch) peoples. We also provide services to people who are Indigenous to other areas, settler colonial people who now reside on this land, and people who have immigrated to these lands by choice, by refugees, or as descendants of enslaved people. We acknowledge the long and continuing history of colonization and Indigenous peoples resistance to it, in particular the harm, violence, and racism towards Indigenous people that has occurred in health care settings such as ours. We are committed to anti-colonial work and understand we are on a journey of learning that does not end. We are guided by the voices of Indigenous peoples and organizations and are grateful for the learning received by those who have shared their experiences, spoken against systems of violence, nurtured traditional healing practices, and who continue to pursue Indigenous self-governance.

Everyone is welcome

A rainbow Pride flag with trans inclusion and Black Lives Matter colours.

As an organization who welcomes and strives to serve all people, we believe that inclusive language is a way of acknowledging and respecting the diversity of bodies, genders and relationships. People experience and express their gender and sexuality in different ways. People have different biological sex characteristics.

Inclusive language ensures we don’t leave people out of our conversations or our work. Inclusive language acknowledges the diversity of people we work with and serve. Throughout this website we have intentionally chosen to use a variety of language to describe bodies, identities and relationships with the intention of representing diversity. We also wish to recognize that language is powerful and highly personal, sensitive, dynamic and, as such, will change. We strive to be as current and inclusive as possible and welcome feedback on ways to improve our language use. We have taken our current language direction from BCCDC and TransCare BC.
