Indigenous Communities

Indigenous Inclusion Strategy

The Shuswap is named after the Shuswap Indigenous Peoples – the Secwepemc – a Salish Nation made up of 17 Indigenous groups or bands, with unceded, ancestral lands, spread across south-central British Columbia.

 

Our goal is to establish strong, respectful and reconciliatory relationships, and to identify collaborative opportunities with indigenous partners.
