The board of Sunshine Coast Healthcare Auxiliary holding the gifts from Sechelt Indian Band following the honouring we received at the Longhouse on March 29.

Vancouver Coastal Health, St. Mary’s Foundation, the SCRD and the provincial government represented by Nicholas Simons were on hand to partake in a wonderful feast, witness the ceremony and receive gifts.

We received a beautiful paddle in a cedar box which was wrapped in a blanket. This allows us to pull together and move forward to healing.
