Water Quality Work in the Territory by the Treaty, Lands, and Resources (TLR) Department

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).

Graphic features illustrations by Tsleil-Waututh artists Candace Thomas, Jordan Gallie and Olivia George.

Learn more about our work to heal səlilwət, including our work to improve the Inlet's water quality, at https://twnation.ca/tlrstewardship/

On September 17, our səlilwətaɬ community and the Orange Shirt Society unveiled an orange crosswalk at the intersection of Dollarton Highway and Sleil-Waututh Road in North Vancouver, alongside special guest Phyllis Webstad, CEO and co-founder of Orange Shirt Day.

The “Every Child Matters” design was created by səlilwətaɬ artist Candace Thomas in honour of Residential School Survivors, and for the ones who never made it home. The Thunderbird embraces both Residential School Survivors and Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.

“The crosswalk is a true gift to our community," said səlilwətaɬ Chief Justin Sky George.

Tsleil-Waututh Nation staff collaborated closely with Orange Shirt Society, delegates from the District of North Vancouver, and with support from the North Shore Community Foundation, to plan for and install the crosswalk.

As Orange Shirt Day (National Truth and Reconciliation Day) approaches on September 30, we wanted to highlight that the day is a vivid reminder of the children being honoured, the Survivors being believed, and that the truths about Residential and Day Schools are not confined to history, but present in our shared journey today.

Reconciliation is a shared responsibility, and there’s more work to be done. Learn how you can walk alongside us and other Indigenous communities: https://twnation.ca/reconciliation-in-action-truth-and-reconciliation-commission-of-canada-calls-to-action/
