Territorial Honouring: As the event organizers, the City of Vancouver, the Multi-Agency Partnership of BC, and the Vancouver Local Immigration Partnership, gratefully acknowledge that World Refugee Day celebrations are taking place on unceded lands of the Musqueam, Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish peoples. We also recognize that June 21st is Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and this event seeks to also recognize the importance of intercultural connections and ongoing education and learning for newcomers as a key commitment to truth and reconciliation.
