Coast Salish chronicles of the West End

The planning process and future West End Community Hub is rooted in xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) ways of knowing and storytelling.

The W.E. Connect: Coast Salish Chronicles of the West End event held on September 21 was an opportunity to deepen connections to this community, this place, this land. During the event we heard stories and learned from local Knowledge Holders and participants had the opportunity to draw from this greater understanding and identify key ideas that can help create a vision for the renewed West End Community Hub.
