Land Acknowledgement
The Women in Leadership Foundation acknowledges that our head office is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded tm̓xʷúlaʔxʷ (land) of the Syilx / Okanagan people who have been here since time immemorial. We recognize, honour, and respect the Syilx / Okanagan territory upon which we live, work, and play.
The Okanagan Nation is comprised of 7 member communities in the Southern Interior of British Columbia: Okanagan Indian Band, Osoyoos Indian Band, Penticton Indian Band, Upper Nicola Band, Upper and Lower Similkameen Indian Bands, and Westbank First Nation; and in Northern Washington State, the Colville Confederated Tribes.
tm̓xʷúlaʔxʷ means the land in the nsyilxcən language and everything that lives and interacts on it. It is an all-encompassing word that expresses the intersectionality of land and nature.
Women in Leadership also recognizes, honours and respects the presence of all Indigenous people, past, present and future.
Funding Acknowledgement
The Emerging Leaders Placement Program is funded by the Government of Canada through the Canada Service Corps Program.
We are proud to support youth leadership, community engagement, and volunteerism across Canada thanks to this vital funding.
