Our holistic vision seeks to balance ethical growth with Tsleil-Waututh values.
We are People of the Inlet. We have lived in and along səlilwət (Burrard Inlet) in the Greater Vancouver region since time out of mind. As a Coast Salish Nation, we are proud of our rich history and cultural heritage. We have a profound obligation to both our Ancestors and future generations to protect and care for our water, land, air, and resources.
On July 8, 2026, Tsleil-Waututh Nation (TWN) filed a judicial review to overturn the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority’s (VFPA) permit allowing the VFPA to dredge tsa-ah-nah (Second Narrows area) of səlilwət (Burrard Inlet).
səlilwətaɬ has a profound obligation to both our Ancestors and future generations to protect and care for our water, land, air, and resources. Our teams within the Treaty, Lands, and Resources (TLR) Department combine Indigenous and western science, and lead many research, policy, and restoration projects to help clean up səlilwət (Burrard Inlet).
A 6-storey, 50-unit rental building is being built in our Tsleil-Waututh community. The housing will be located in the new community subdivision along Spa-ath Road.
