East Van Co-ops Joint Emergency Planning and Resilience Event Launch

It was great to see a good number of co-op members attend our Joint Co-op Emergency Planning and Resilience Project Launch at Paloma Co-op on Oct 22nd. Clearly, many people are concerned about this issue.

We acknowledge that our co-ops are situated on the traditional and ancestral territories of the Coast Salish peoples – Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səl̓ílwətaʔɬ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations

We recognize the Coast Salish and all Indigenous lands upon which we live were/are unceded and stolen through the historical and ongoing colonial process. We also acknowledge that many Indigenous communities are on the front line of land and climate defense and should be supported by all of us who care about the planet and all people. As such we adhere to our responsibilities to actively support front-line work and to transform colonial structures and thought through right action that respects all life and which assures the future generations a safe and healthy planet.
