I respectfully acknowledge that I live, work, and play on the unceded territories of Coast Salish Nations, including the homelands of the St’át’imc, Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh).

I wanted to share with you our invitation to the All-Day Sacred Fire Ceremony at xʷci̓cəsəm Garden at UBC Farm. It is a late invitation as we depended on the fire ban, but now that the ban has been lifted, we can go ahead with the event.

I would appreciate it if you could help us disseminate the message through your communication channels.

I am attaching the invitation. Please let me know if you have any questions. Take care!
