sməq̓ʷaʔ xeł ~ the Great Blue Heron Way – a trail connecting communities – is the vision of Tsawwassen First Nation Elder xwasteniya Ruth Adams. Her vision is to reconnect First Nations Communities around the Salish Sea and along the Sto:lo (Fraser River) on existing and new pathways.
This project works in partnership to interlink multi-use greenways for active transportation such as walking and cycling in communities, helps towards meaningful reconciliation for First Nations and their neighbours along a healing pathway, and gives an opportunity for Indigenous-led cultural awareness through BC and across Canada.
This short section through the Tsawwassen First Nation is a small part of the entire vision.
