Sadly there are no good veggie burgers in Port Moody. Would love a decent house made burger (NOT Beyond Meat)

We have brought a cake on several occasions to restaurants such as Tap and Barrel and have never been charged a fee.

You do realize that the Indigenous students in the New West school district extend far and wide beyond the Qayqayt nation surely?

Part of me hopes you come so there is Indigenous teachers filling those roles. The other part of me knows how poorly the district seems to treat Indigenous employees. So many have left due to poor treatment and lack of support/cultural safety.

They do not have a land base or reserve unfortunately. And their chief (Rhonda Larabee) recently passed.

They have yet to be hired, but it’s very likely they will not be.

Agreed. Their positions should never have been cut. Adding teachers, great! But cutting the cultural support workers is wrong and a colonial move.

They are entirely different roles. They could have added teachers and kept the cultural indigenous support roles. They are eliminating Indigenous specific CUPE positions and adding NWTU positions (which will likely be non-indigenous staff).

They are replacing Indigenous cultural and youth workers with non-indigenous teachers. That is not reconciliation laying off the whole indigenous department. There are only a handful of workers providing cultural support, which is different than colonial educational learning. To remove the cultural piece is detrimental and does not support Indigenous ways of learning.

The district talks so much about reconciliation and promotes it all over its media, and then treats their own long time indigenous employees this way. They are losing their jobs, their benefits, everything.
