Breaking Bannock Receives Islands Trust Community Stewardship Award
On September 3, the Breaking Bannock team was honoured with the Islands Trust Community Stewardship Award at the Gabriola Trust Committee meeting, recognizing the team’s exceptional leadership in preserving and protecting the Islands Trust area.
Accepting the award on behalf of Breaking Bannock were Khumchislia Ardyth Cooper and Diana Radonjic. Tsatassaya (Tracy) White, also an integral member of the Breaking Bannock team, was unable to attend the ceremony.
Breaking Bannock is a wonderful community initiative bringing people together through programming featuring Coast Salish teachers and Snuneymuxw Elders. Through these programs, Breaking Bannock creates opportunities for learning, connection, dialogue and reconciliation.
Among Breaking Bannock’s many programs and events are:
✨ Voices of Courage: Women Standing Against Hate ✨ Snuneymuxw First Nation Protocols – The Spirit of Syeyutsus (Walking Together) ✨ Reading and Reconciliation: One Book, One Community – The Teachings of Mutton: A Coast Salish Woolly Dog
We are incredibly proud to see Breaking Bannock recognized for the meaningful work they continue to do in our community and across the Islands Trust area. Congratulations to the entire Breaking Bannock team! 💛
