OPENING CEREMONY AT 4 PM

Join us in the Live Music & Performance Area for a traditional opening blessing at 4pm with Wendy Nahanee (Ancestral name: Kwákwaýel Simia). She is a Matriarch from the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) host nation and is the mother of a wonderful young man, Keona. We are grateful to have her and her son open the event for us!
