About this event

As part of Culture Days, join Indigenous Cultural Programmer Senaqwila Wyss for a walk through Lynn Valley in the area surrounding MONOVA: Archives of North Vancouver (3203 Institute Road).

The nature walk will focus on the power of observation and will offer an opportunity to witness the change of season in our local ecosystem, here in the traditional territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh).

This is a free event as part of Culture Days. Join us! We'd love to see you there.

Coast Salish programming is generously supported by BMO Financial Group.
