Xa Xa Téméxw Swáyel/Sacred Earth Day concerts pay respect to the idea that “every day should be Earth Day.”

 

Ey Stélmexw St’elt’ílem/Good Medicine Songs will perform with student choirs from local schools. In the audience will be teachers who have signed up their classes for this free musical field trip, along with family and community members. The songs weave together themes of Halq’eméylem language revitalization, reconciliation, and taking action for Earth stewardship by reducing waste.
