Honouring Tsleil-Waututh Nation Survivors with Orange Banners

We are honouring Tsleil-Waututh Nation Residential and Day School Survivors by placing orange banners on ten street light poles throughout our community, starting today, September 4, 2024.

The illustration on the banner was designed by Ocean Hyland, a Tsleil-Waututh artist. Her piece depicts a moon face, rain, lightning and plant kin.  

The banners signal to all staff, visitors, and people passing through the community of səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation’s) commitment to holding up our Residential and Day School Survivors.
