FNHA Territorial Acknowledgement Information Booklet - Acknowledging traditional territory is, for many First Nations, a long-standing practice and a regular aspect of governance relationships and ceremony. In recent years territory acknowledgements have become common across Canada as an act of respect and reconciliation at formal meetings, conferences, or public events.

“Nature Through Trails” provides a proposal from Nature Trails Society for individual PACs and COPACS to financially support training SD#63 educators to deliver that middle-school curriculum through Saanich Schools. An alternative would be to begin developing curriculum for elementary and/or high school levels. This proposal builds upon the COPACS hosted event in February 2024 where the COPACs-funded nature wagons were demonstrated with children, followed by a panel discussion about current nature education practices. Next steps: NTS is offering a presentation to individual PACs who are interested in learning more. NTS could attend your next meetings in June or September. Please contact COPACS for more information.
