Presentation of a Heritage BC Award and new W̱SÁNEĆ guide to SḴŦAḴ pamphlet

We hosted a luncheon at the Mayne Island Agricultural Hall for participants in the ŚTEṈIST ȻENTOL EȻSIÁ TĆÁNȻE / Walking Forward With The Past project and guests to honour the project being recognized by a Heritage BC Award! Heritage BC representatives attended to present the award, and many key participants were able to attend and celebrate.

We feasted together on elk lasagne, spring salmon, venison tenderloin and jerky, berry pies, salads, and sandwiches.

The event also included the unveiling of a new W̱SÁNEĆ guide to SḴŦAḴ / Mayne Island; a pamphlet created for free distribution to islands and visitors that highlights W̱SÁNEĆ place names, history, and art in this place.
