Event Information
Elk/Beaver Lake Regional Park (Saanich)
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. 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.
Meeting place: Meet at the Beaver Lake Picnic Shelter at the
Filter Beds parking lot.
Trail Description: 800m turn around; on compact surface; with slight incline. Accessible washroom available near parking lot.
Please note: We like pets too. However, their presence can be disruptive for some folks. If you plan to attend one of our programs, please leave pets at home. Guide and service animals are, of course, welcome.
