Let’s honour and celebrate our Sḵwx̱wú7mesh culture and language!

Join us as we embrace teachings in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Sníchim (Squamish language), practice traditional weaving, immerse ourselves in songs and drumming, and create unforgettable memories for every generation within the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation).

Lunch served at 12:00 pm. Indigenous vendors onsite.

Our Member Services department will be handing out smoked sockeye salmon sides (one per household). Bring your totes and coolers!
