The land from which the Joint Collaborative Committees—a partnership between Doctors of BC and the BC government—operate and support physicians is the traditional territories of the Coast Salish peoples, including the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, whose historical relationship with the land continues today.

For the Joint Collaborative Committees, acknowledging the land is an expression of cultural humility that involves recognizing our commitment to support the provision of culturally safe care to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people in BC.
