IN-PERSON PROGRAM
We invite you, our community, LGBTQIA2S+, friends and allies, to join us on a cultural walk that focuses on the birds and animals of Áx̱achu7 (Beaver Lake). Like many Indigenous groups, North America wide, Salish, the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) , sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) & sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations see the land, birds, animals and plants as relatives. Join us to come connect with nature, self and community.
This program is cosponsored by Talaysay Tours, Stanley Park Ecology Society and the Province of BC.
ABOUT “Queer Friends and Feathers” SERIES
Welcome to the SPES’ Queer Friends and Feathers! We’ll be hosting some free events that focus on different ways we can connect with birds outside in so called “Stanley Park” – whether that is a guided birding tour, art and photography, or learning a more specific skill like bird surveying. This series is for queer and trans people that want to learn more about nature together. Come with a friend or alone, have a snack, and take it easy – you don’t need any experience to appreciate birds!

We gratefully acknowledge that the land on which we gather and help steward is the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nation. Since time immemorial, Coast Salish peoples have lived reciprocally with the land, harvesting and cultivating foods and medicines and practicing ceremony. The abundance of these lands and waters, which enables us to live, work, and play here today, is a result of the past and on-going stewardship and advocacy of the Coast Salish peoples.
