Land Acknowledgement

The Victoria Youth Clinic Society – Foundry Victoria is grateful to live, work, and gather on the lands of the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, specifically the stolen traditional territories of the T’Sou-ke, Scia’new (Beecher Bay), Xwsepsum (Esquimalt), Songhees, SȾÁUTW̱ (Tsawout), W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip), W̱SIKEM (Tseycum), BOḰEĆEN (Pauquachin), and MÁLEXEȽ (Malahat).

We honour Métis, Inuit, First Nations, and all Indigenous peoples whose stewardship of Turtle Island has protected the earth, water, and sky, as well as the health and wellbeing practices that have sustained us, and we seek to be good ancestors in our work.

As an organization, we commit to reconciliation, decolonizing our health care practices, and Indigenous youth-led health solutions that support current and future generations.
