"I am honoured to live, work and raise my family on the shared, unceded territory of the Lil’wat People, known in their language as L̓il̓wat7úl, and the Squamish People, known in their language as Sḵwx̱wú7mesh. My work takes me across the beautiful lands of this country now known as Canada and it is a privilege to learn and share in many rich cultures. I am committed to doing my part in the important journey of truth and reconciliation." Suzanne Denbak
