The Vancouver Island Exhibition respectfully acknowledges that we are held on the traditional and unceded territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation. We also recognize and honour the many Indigenous Nations across Vancouver Island who have cared for and stewarded these lands since time immemorial.
We are grateful to gather, celebrate, and share community on this land together.
