The Victoria Symphony respectfully acknowledges that we work and perform on the traditional territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples, including the Songhees and Xwsepsum Nations, and on the traditional territory of the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. We honour their enduring stewardship, care, and leadership of these lands.
