Acknowledgement

At Interior Women's Centre Society, we acknowledge that we operate on the traditional, unceded territories of the Secwépemc, Syilx (Okanagan), and Nlaka'pamux Peoples, whose lands include the areas of Kamloops, Kelowna, Salmon Arm, and Merritt. We recognize the deep connections these Nations have to their ancestral lands and waters, and we honour their enduring presence and contributions to these regions.

We recognize the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization, systemic racism, and the residential school system on Indigenous communities, including those within the Secwépemc, Syilx, and Nlaka'pamux Nations. As an organization committed to equity, we affirm our responsibility to support the process of Truth and Reconciliation.
