Coastal City Ballet acknowledges that our “Vancouver” based dance company occupies the territory of the traditional, ancestral, and unceded homelands of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. We strive to prioritize expanding our knowledge and understanding of the responsibilities to be on these territories and to its Indigenous peoples in an effort to work towards reconciliation, equity and decolonization in our global spheres of the mainstream dance world.
