We acknowledge and respect the lәk̓ ʷәŋәn, paaʔčiidʔatx,̣ Sc'ianew, T-Souke, and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples on whose traditional and unceded territories we work, and whose historical relationships with the lands and waters continue to this day.

​

The name, Camossung q'emásәnj, is used with permission by the lәk̓ ʷәŋәn (Songhees and Xʷsepsәm/Esquimalt) communities. Camossung was a young lәk̓ ʷәŋәn girl whose story about the Gorge Waterway teaches us the importance of place and caring for nature. A statue of Camossung is located in Gorge Waterway Park.
