Acknowledgement

Acknowledgement at Allies

We acknowledge with gratitude that we live, work, and gather on the traditional, unceded territories of the W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples, including the W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip), W̱SIKEM (Tseycum), BOḰEĆEN (Pauquachin), and SȾÁUTW̱ (Tsawout) First Nations. We honor their deep and ongoing relationship with the land, waters, and community, and we commit to learning from their stewardship, resilience, and traditions. We recognize that true reconciliation requires action, and we are dedicated to listening, learning, and integrating this knowledge into how we care for our community.

As we grow our business, we also hope to grow our relationship with local Indigenous groups. We are committed to deepening this connection by attending community events, supporting initiatives, and donating our time whenever possible. We welcome invitations for further participation and opportunities to contribute in meaningful ways.

As part of this commitment, on September 30th, we pledge to donate all proceeds from that day to the Victoria Native Friendship Centre, supporting their work in empowering Indigenous individuals and families through culturally rooted programs and services.
