Territorial Acknowledgement
Since 1967, BC Housing has operated on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of Indigenous Peoples across British Columbia. We recognize that Indigenous Peoples’ history and connection to these lands was disrupted because of colonization. To this day colonization continues to cause harm and intergenerational impacts on Indigenous People across our shared lands. As a landlord, employer and funder of housing programs and services, BC Housing bears responsibility for decolonizing our relationship with Indigenous Peoples. BC Housing is committed to adopting the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action and implementing the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (Declaration Act). We humbly acknowledge that Indigenous People have taken care of and stewarded these lands from time immemorial. We are committed to strong Indigenous partnerships and relationships based on principles of Indigenous reconciliation.
