THE PURPOSE
As Kukpi7 Fred Robbins of Esk'etemc
states in his advocacy, the work of
meaningful Reconciliation is not solely
for Indigenous People. As a settler
organization, Community Arts Council
initiates partnerships, dialogue and
commitment to learn and change.
We are grateful to the BC Arts Council (ARTS Impact Grant) and Province of BC (Gaming Grants) for their ongoing funding support, especially of projects that support pathways to Truth and Reconciliation.
