A statement from the elected Commissioners of Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation

 November 4 2022

This week, the Commissioners of the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation sent a letter of apology to the leaders of the three Host Nations. The letter apologizes for the Park Board's actions and inactions in relation to colonialism, and the harm inflicted on the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh peoples both historically and in the present day.

We sincerely hope this apology forms one more step on the road toward reconciliation, and that these words are supported by ongoing work among our governments and communities.
