Land Acknowledgement
Since long before Canada was formed, the Stó:lō (people of the river) have occupied the land where our festival calls home. The Fraser Valley Writers Festival recognizes and honours the contribution that the Stó:lō and other Indigenous peoples have made — and continue to make — to our community.
