SLCC Tour Film Feedback Survey
The SLCC Tour Movie (Where Rivers, Mountains and People Meet) plays every hour as part of our Guided Tour experience. We are embarking on an exciting undertaking to remake it, and we look to Members of the Squamish Nation and the Lil'wat Nation for the shared knowledge, voices and stories that will bring it to life, and proudly reflect the Nations. We have several ways for your to share your feedback, including online via the survey link below, in person, via Zoom or on the phone. The Project Team is led by SLCC Curator Mixalhítsa7, Alison Pascal, and supported by the team at the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre and Anthill Films.
We ask that you review so we have a strong response rate and shared sense of the way forward on this important work.
To access the survey link and view the current SLCC tour movie connect with SLCC Curator Mixalhítsa7 Alison Pascal to arrange feedback.
