Community Highlight 📣 A new art piece in the V Community Highlight 📣 A new art piece in the Vedder Road roundabout that celebrates the history of the Ts'elxwéyeqw Tribe and Stó:lō Nation is officially complete. The artwork was designed by Squiala First Nation Chief David Jimmie and Coast Salish artist Bonny Graham, in consultation with the Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe and the Stó:lō Nation Chiefs Council. The design features a Stó:lō/ Coast Salish traditional canoe atop an upper ring of stainless steel embossed with a salmon and wave design and the Halq'eméylem text “Ey kwesé é mi” with its English translation “It’s good that you are here…welcome”. The eight supporting posts are encased in paddles, with seven of the paddles bearing emblems to represent the seven Ts’elxwéyeqw communities, and the eighth holds the City of Chilliwack logo. “This piece is about more than art in a roundabout,” said Mayor Popove. “As we continue to build relationships with local First Nations, it is important that we use opportunities like this artwork to support truth and reconciliation.” #SundaySubmission #Sólhtéméxw #SXTA #Tselxwéyeqw

To the Members of our SXTA Communities:

During this unprecedented period of self-quarantine and social distancing, we wanted to let you know that the SXTA Executive and Leadership, with the well-being of our communities uppermost in mind, remain focused on the treaty goals and objectives. We continue guiding our path and moving forward to self-governance and treaty. We developed and are carrying out a plan to continue our efforts as fully as possible. Members of the SXTA Executive and Leadership are meeting virtually on a regular basis; likewise, our Treaty Negotiation Team continues with its ongoing negotiations with BC and Canada. Our staff are working from home during this period and remain committed to carrying out our work plans. Members of our Outreach team will continue reaching out to you by email, by telephone, social media and other creative means to hear your thoughts on our Constitution and treaty, and to keep you fully informed about our work. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us through our Outreach Team. We continue to look after our communities as our highest priority.

In unity with you and your families at this time,

The SXTA Executive
Chief Maureen Chapman, President
Chief Angie Bailey, Vice-President
Chief Derek Epp, Secretary/Treasurer
Councillor James Paterson
Chief Terry Horne
Chief Mark Point
