Allyship

Join us in Annual Allyship

Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre Allies work alongside us to reach our goals. Collectively, we recognize the value of working together to build stronger ties between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. While each level of Allyship has custom benefits and a portion is eligible for a charitable tax receipt, we also welcome donations of the same value for those who prefer a full charitable tax receipt for their support, rather than the benefits specified.  Whether it is Thunderbird, Eagle, Bear or Frog, your friendship is part of our success and good work.
