Commitment to Reconciliation
Greater Vancouver Board of Trade recognizes and respects that our programs, events, and services are located on the territory of Indigenous Peoples, specifically the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) and Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nations. We acknowledge the inherent rights, title, and relationship that Indigenous people have to their unceded territory, and the suffering and systemic inequities faced by Indigenous Peoples.
Greater Vancouver Board of Trade is committed to reconciliation and will demonstrate this by supporting Indigenous Peoples in the communities we serve. With a mandate to lead, unite, and champion business to ensure Greater Vancouver is thriving, we will work towards a shared vision to make Vancouver stronger and a region that thrives on its true history, partnerships, and business landscape.
Greater Vancouver Board of Trade is committed to our role in addressing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's final report, specifically Calls to Action 92ii and 92iii, which outline a reconciliation framework for the corporate sector to adopt the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
