We honour the land we work on, the ancestors who came before us, and the diverse voices that shape our present. To honour is to act with respect and accountability — in our relationships, in how we make decisions, and in how we uplift stories that need to be heard. We acknowledge that true honour means listening, learning, and making space for all identities, experiences, and traditions.

We are a learning community — open to growth, reflection, and transformation on the land. We value knowledge that comes from lived experience, cultural teachings, and shared dialogue, just as much as formal education. Learning also means unlearning harmful patterns and systems that do not serve us. As an organization, we commit to listening with humility, sharing knowledge across generations, and fostering environments where everyone — from youth to Elders — can grow.

We recognize that many in our community carry wounds — personal, historical, and intergenerational. Healing is a powerful act of reclaiming wholeness. As a community we commit to creating environments that support healing through connection, gift giving and receiving, vulnerability, grief tending and ritual. Healing is not just about individual recovery — it's about restoring balance within our communities and across generations.

Play is more than just recreation — it is a form of resistance, renewal, and relationship-building. We believe that joy, creativity, and imagination are essential to wellness. In our programs and spaces, we encourage play as a way to connect across generations, express ourselves freely, and create moments of laughter, exploration, and possibility. Play helps us envision new futures — together.
