shishalh Nation (Sechelt Indian Band)
Over the last few years, the Shishalh Nation has opened their hearts and doors to the non Aboriginal communities on the Sunshine Coast. St John's has taken an active role in bridging relationships to stand beside our indigenous brothers and sisters. We continue to be honoured to take an active role in witnessing members of the Shishalh Nation sharing their truth. St. John's was gifted with an original Grizzly Bear carving, by Master Carver Anthony Paul and a ceremonial blanket in recognition of our witnessing and financial contributions to the Residential School monument located on the site where St. Augustine residential school once stood.
