Ustlahn Social Society

The Uslahan Social Society was established in 2007 as a registered non-profit society to work with community members who live on the Squamish reserves in North Vancouver. Our goals have grown and evolved as the society has matured over the past 8 eight years.

Our Mission is to provide our community members with dignified access to culturally appropriate foods and traditional medicines, and to help our community members to socialize and interact through cultural events that focus on our traditional foods and medicines. We hope to create community engagement opportunities that include, but are not limited to artistic and cultural events that involve the Skwxwu7mesh peoples from all of our traditional lands and waterways, as well as inviting communities that co-exist and live in our surrounding villages and cultural spaces.

We, as a community believe in opening our doors to any and all community members who find their way into our kitchen and garden programming, and encourage a climate of social interactivity in ways that foster community engagement and cultural pride.
