Event Information
Witty's Lagoon Regional Park (Metchosin)
On this interactive program, we invite participants to explore the cultural significance of birds and animals through a First Peoples lens. The cultural lessons and values shared through the time-honoured tradition of storytelling will amaze participants. We will discover how First Peoples passed down important teachings from their respective territories to upcoming generations.
We begin with a traditional welcome and territory acknowledgement, then share the history and importance of the site to the First Peoples of the area. Then, we will move along the trail and meet some interesting characters who will share their knowledge and wisdom to help us gain an understanding of how they are interconnected with First Peoples.
Meet at the Teaching Shelter off the Lagoon Trail. Park at the main parking lot off Metchosin Road. Proceed down the main trail, turning left onto the Lagoon Trail. Allow approximately 15 minutes walking time from the parking lot. BC Transit #54 or #55.
