Welcome Post

The Welcome Post of the Eagle & Sun was installed on Å·±¦¹ÙÍø’s New Westminster Campus in June of 2021. On June 17, 2021, we held a ceremony for the Welcome Post led by Elder Shane Pointe from the xÊ·məθkÊ·É™yÌ“É™m (Musqueam) Nation. Brent Sparrow from the xÊ·məθkÊ·É™yÌ“É™m (Musqueam) Nation created the Welcome Post and worked with the Office of Indigenization throughout the process. Å·±¦¹ÙÍø is honoured to have this significant legacy item on our New Westminster Campus.
