IN-PERSON PROGRAM

Coast Salish peoples have shared a profound and enduring connection with the Salish Sea for thousands of years, a relationship that has shaped a beautiful culture, identity, and way of life. By highlighting and embracing these Indigenous values, knowledge, and practices, we welcome a more resilient path forward in environmental stewardship, climate resilience, and reconciliation.

Hosted by Talaysay Tours, this experience highlights the key concepts of:

• Stewardship of land & oceans through action & accountability
• Exploration of seaweeds & seagrasses
• Stories of marine life and their interconnections
• History of the Coast Salish Peoples and their relationship to the ocean
• Indigenous science & advocacy for Indigenous rights
• Environmental impact, sustainability, and collective responsibility
• Wellbeing, health benefits, medicinal properties, and community connection

This event is reserved specifically for BIPOC individuals, in order to provide a safe and inclusive space to explore nature.

This program was made possible through the financial support of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation’s National Anti-Racism Fund.

LEADER BIO

UPDATE – There has been a change to the line-up of Cultural Land Ambassadors, and we will now be led by the wonderful Candace (xets’emits’a) and Talaysay Campo, the two co-owners of Talaysay Tours.

The land on which we gather is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Peoples. Their stewardship and respect for this land has carried forward for thousands of years long before settlers named it “Stanley Park”.
