Our Funders

 

We would like to acknowledge that we at West Side Family Place are growing and learning as a community on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, in this place commonly known as Vancouver, BC.

As guests, we honour the land, water, animals, and the continued efforts of the Indigenous people working to protect them.
