Join us at the Speaker Series, where expert speakers share valuable insights on the well-being and sustainability of the Cowichan watershed, located within Quw’utsun territory. Each event is a wonderful opportunity to learn from engaging speakers sharing their knowledge and expertise on topics relevant to the well-being and sustainability of the Cowichan watershed, within Quw’utsun territory. The March 17 speaker will be Jedson Tsusqun August, a canoe builder and racer. Join us as he shares stories and knowledge about the Quw’utsun Sta’lo’ (Cowichan River) and its waterways. Like so many other daily activities and cultural practices, collecting the materials to build a canoe or paddles took Jedson all over the Quw'utsun watershed. Take a journey of the watershed through his eyes and words!
We are excited to share that Jedson plans to bring one of his canoes into the classroom.
The series is hosted by the Cowichan Watershed Board, with the support of VIU Cowichan, the Real Estate Foundation of BC, and our generous speakers. We are grateful for Elder T'uwahwiye’ Philomena Williams who opens each event with a welcoming lesson.
