Together, we acknowledge the K'òmoks, We Wai Kai, Wei Wai Kum, Homalco, and Kwiakah First Nations peoples, on whose ancient and sacred land we live, work and play. Our longstanding partnerships with First Nations communities are deeply rooted in a mutual desire to honour, celebrate, protect, and educate resort guests about the natural and cultural legacy of those that came to be.
