Black Lives Matter Statement

June 3, 2020 By Lily Nichol

During this difficult and painful time, we at the New West Farmers Market want to reach out to the community.

To those who are suffering: we see you. We hear you. We share your frustration. We share your pain. We do not support discrimination in any form, and we feel that with all that has been going on, we want to make sure our stance on this is clear: black lives matter. This is not a controversial statement to us. 
 
The New West Farmers Market is community based, and our community is a diverse one. The world needs to change, and that change starts with us.

Land Acknowledgement

Our market is grateful to operate on the unceded land of the Qayqayt, Kwikwetlem, and other Halkomelem speaking Peoples. We acknowledge that colonialism has made invisible their histories and connections to the land. We acknowledge the incredible gift this land is to our market and BC Agriculture. We commit to the ongoing work of decolonization and allyship.
