Territorial acknowledgement

Our work involves natural resources which are connected to many First Nations communities located in or closely associated with forests across the Province of British Columbia. We recognize their connection to the forests and are grateful to those on whose traditional lands we reside, work, or visit.

In the spirit of reconciliation, FII acknowledges that its head office is situated in the traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nations.
