We are grateful to live, work and play on the unceded and illegally occupied territories of the LkLək̓ʷəŋən (Songhees and Esquimalt) Peoples and the Lək̓ʷəŋən and WSÁNEĆ Peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.

As queer folks, we recognize both our inherent privilege as uninvited settlers on this land, and our collective responsibility to resisting oppression in all of its forms.
