YCCBC Courtenay Participates In National Indigenous Peoples Day

Mya weaves a cedar arch.

On June 21st, National Indigenous Peoples' Day, the YCCBC Courtenay team had the opportunity to help facilitate a local event.

To assist the hosts of Courtenay's National Indigenous Peoples' Day celebration, the K’ómoks First Nation, the team helped weave a cedar arch for the entryway of the event. For coastal First Nations, cedar is important both spiritually and for its healing properties.

We are honoured to have been able to participate in this celebration!

Jesse and Pam work to complete the arch.
