We wish to provide our deepest condolences on the recent losses in Squamish Nation that deeply affect all of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh People as well as our Tsleil-Waututh Members.

We recognize and support the actions that Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) is taking to respond to the toxic drug crisis. We are informing our Tsleil-Waututh community of Squamish Council’s resolution on public safety, and how we stand in solidarity with Squamish Nation.

Our hearts remain with Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) during this time of grief.
