Our Commitment to Cultural Safety

Coastal Mountain Child and Youth Services Ltd. is deeply committed to creating culturally safe spaces for Indigenous children and youth. We honor the unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the Quw’utsun (Cowichan) people, whose lands we are privileged to live and work on.

We collaborate with Indigenous communities, Elders, and cultural leaders to ensure youth can connect—or reconnect—with their identities, families, and traditional ways of knowing. Cultural programming, land-based activities, and access to spiritual support are embedded across all of our services.
