“I’ve learned what it truly means to be Canadian and in turn I’ve been inspired to make a difference in the world, however small it’s been.”
Thank you for visiting. I hope you like my design and my message.
The design
The maple leaf at the centre represents colonial interests in North America. The green and blue bands on the outside represent the land and water surrounding us. The orange between them and the maple leaf represents the Indigenous Peoples who protect the land and water from colonial interests.
The message
- Support Indigenous Peoples as they protect the land from destructive, extractive practices.
- Adhere to the principle that all individuals should have an opportunity equal with other individuals to make for themselves the lives that they are able and wish to regardless of: race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family status, genetic characteristics, disability, or pardoned offence.
In gratitude to the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples, the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations who have stewarded their unceded, ancestral territory since time immemorial.
Interested in donating? I plan to package a 2″ embroidered, iron on patch, a 2″ sticker and 4″ x 6″ postcard in an envelope to be given out to people I meet.
Kind of a pay it forward message of generosity and acceptance. A gift to the world.
Interested in adding our patch, sticker and postcard to a swag bag? Let us know and we will see if we can accommodate you.
