This month we are changing things up a bit!
Join us September 10, 2022 (Saturday); 11 am at the Comox Valley Regional District Civic Room (770 Harmston Ave) to honour and learn during this historic moment as negotiations between K’ómoks First Nation, B.C. and Canada are coming to a close.
We will gather after the event in the park to debrief our experience and solidify plans for the upcoming TRC Learning Lab event Sept 29.
Please see below for more info from MLA Josie Osborne:
The public is invited to attend in-person and virtual open houses.
