Our Commitments

The Clifton wooden carving, created by Jim Charlie, member of the Squamish Nation of the Coast Salish peoples, incorporates our logo, symbolizing our commitment to our partners, the environment, and its resources.

The artwork portrays the elemental forces that shape our environment, including a human figure representing soil, a majestic raven embodying air, and two graceful salmon that represent water.

We value and respect the cultures, histories, Traditional Knowledge, and languages of all First Peoples of Canada and make this acknowledgement as a reconciliatory act with gratitude to those on whose territory we live and work.
