The Alpine Club of Canada is undertaking work to revitalize relationships between Indigenous peoples and all Canadians in order to build vibrant, resilient and sustainable communities. ACCVI encourages all of you to include a land acknowledgement in your trip reports if you are comfortable doing so. The following text was included in the acknowledgements section of the 2023 Island Bushwhacker Annual:
I gratefully acknowledge that the land on which I live and prepared this volume of the Island Bushwhacker Annual is in Nanaimo, the traditional territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation. Let us be grateful for opportunities to explore the land known today as Canada and acknowledge Indigenous peoples on the lands, waters, and glaciers we visited this year on Vancouver Island, the mainland, and in distant places.
To learn more about including land acknowledgements in your trip reports, please see pages 13-14 of the Autumn 2024 Issue of the Island Bushwhacker Newsletter here

Many thanks, we look forward to receiving your article(s).
