Reconciliation is rooted in the places where we live, learn, and build community. Local gatherings create opportunities to listen to Indigenous voices and deepen our understanding of the histories, cultures, and lived experiences connected to the lands around us.

Across the communities where CBAL offers programs, we live and learn on the traditional and unceded territories of the Ktunaxa, Lheidli T’enneh, Secwépemc, Sinixt, and Syilx Nations, and alongside Métis communities and citizens.

🧡 Every community has a story. 🧡
