We live, work, and volunteer as uninvited guests in the territory of the Songhees, Esquimalt, and W̱sáneć Nations. To the Lekwungen Peoples, who are our leaders, neighbours, and fellow volunteers, we offer gratitude and respect. We acknowledge that our work is not possible without the generations of Indigenous people who came before us and paved the way. Volunteer Victoria works to hold brave space where everyone feels welcomed, included, and heard.
