The following organizations stand against racism and discrimination.

We believe if we continue to work together to foster a more inclusive society that is both humane and welcoming – that our community will benefit as a whole.

It is our wish that this belief would not only apply to our community but the broader world we all.

In light of recent statements by Cowichan leadership regarding racism in the Cowichan Valley, Downtown Duncan worked with Cowichan Tribes to create a poster that welcomes customers and clients in Hul’q’umi’num. Businesses across the Cowichan region are welcome to post the sign as a show of solidarity.
