LEARN
Like a Local
To North Shore, Like a Local means to Learn, Like a Local. To learn like a local means to respect all cultures that reside here and to acknowledge that we are on the unceded traditional territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and səlilwətaɬ Nations, who have been here since time immemorial.
Indigenous Language
You’ll often notice Indigenous names and writing on North Shore signage. The North Shore Culture Compass is a free online map showcasing the region’s art, heritage and stories. Check out the First Nations Category which was developed in partnership with the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation) and səl̓ilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation) who have been here since time immemorial. Find out how to pronounce local placenames and learn about the stories, art and animals that have shaped Vancouver’s North Shore.
