The BC Economic Development Association
acknowledges it carries out its work on the
traditional territories of Indigenous nations
throughout British Columbia. We pay our respects
to the Elders, past and present, descendants and
custodians of these lands. We honour the knowledge
keepers and the continuing relationships with
Indigenous peoples in BC that develop through
our work together.
