Stetís ímexstowx (Stah tee-ss ee-mehx-sst-owwhx) – This meaningful phrase translates to “walk beside us” in the beautiful Halq’eméylem language.

Our local civic organizations have united around Thunderbird Square and Civic Plaza with a common goal – to create a space for learning and understanding. We’re walking together to share learning opportunities for the public about Truth and Reconciliation, as well as the history of Residential Schools.

Join us on this journey on September 30, 2025, as we come together to build a deeper awareness of our roles in the path to Reconciliation.

The gathering will start with the Opening Ceremony at 10 AM at Thunderbird Square, followed by the opening of each station.
