Gabriola Island Land Stewards Society

The Gabriola Island Land Stewards Society is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the natural environment of Gabriola Island through stewardship, education, and community engagement, fostering a sustainable future for both the land and its inhabitants.

What: This fundraiser is for Snuneymuxw Nation members to participate in the Tribal Journeys, a traditional experience that celebrates Coast Salish culture and empowers youth in the community to become young leaders. Support for the Manson Family&#39;s Munu Canoe is a way we can support this cultural revival and is a step toward reconciliation. For the last 3 years, Gabriola has supported Snuneymuxw&rsquo;s Munu Canoe family with this fundraiser so they can go on Tribal Journeys. We would love your support to promote this event and get people paddling! Our community event is significant because it does more than raise money. Everyone involved comes away richer for the experience! This event creates genuine community-to-community connections, gets Snuneymuxw First Nation members over on the island, allows us share stories in a relaxed way over food, through dance, paddling and Protocol. Activities:&nbsp;-&nbsp;Snuneymuxw Protocol, sharing traditional song and dances- Raffle draws- Salmon lunch- Canoe paddle led by Elder Gary Manson and the Canoe Family (morning and afternoon)  Contact: <a fr-original-style="" href="mailto:munucanoegabriola@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">munucanoegabriola@gmail.com</a> for details Organizers: Tobi Elliott is the lead organizer, and the event is sponsored by the Gabriola Island Land Stewards Society (GILSS). 100% of funds raised go&nbsp;directly to the Munu Canoe Family.

What: This fundraiser is to support Snuneymuxw Nation members participating in Tribal Journeys up and down the Salish Sea from Vancouver Island, mainland BC and the Pacific North West of the US.&nbsp; The Tribal Journeys are a tradition experience to revitalize Coast Salish culture and empower youth in the community to become young leaders. Support for the Manson Family&#39;s Journeys in the Munu Canoe is a way we can support this cultural revival and is a step toward reconciliation. Organizers: Tobi Elliott and the Gabriola Chamber of Commerce are involved. A sponsoring organization was needed to ensure that 100% of the funds raised will go directly to the Munu Canoe Family. The Gabriola Island Land Stewards Society offered to be that organization, so you will see their name in the form and as your confirmation email.
