The RBP logo, called “Speak”, is an original design by Northwest Coast First Nations artist Maynard Johnny Jr., from the Coast Salish and Kwakwaka’wakw tribe. It depicts four faces sharing the same mouth, to signify the importance of communication between a couple, in a family or community, and in society as a whole. Space to “Speak” freely is key to solving any problem, big or small.
