Our Constitution serves as the foundation for a society committed to enhancing social well-being through meaningful connection. We are united by a shared mission: to promote and facilitate opportunities for authentic dialogue, reduce social isolation and loneliness, and build stronger, more inclusive communities.

5. 

To engage volunteers and community members in activities that strengthen empathy, belonging, and interpersonal connection.

6.

We acknowledge with gratitude that we live, work, and gather on the traditional, and ancestral, territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) Peoples, known today as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.

​

We also recognize the ongoing relationships with the W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples, whose historic connections to this land remain strong and deeply rooted.

​

As settlers and guests on these lands, we commit to listening, learning, and taking meaningful steps toward reconciliation, while honouring the enduring presence, wisdom, and resilience of the Indigenous Peoples who have cared for these lands since time immemorial.
