The SLCC embodies the spirit of partnership between two unique Nations who wish to preserve, grow, and share their traditional cultures.
SLCC WebsiteThe Squamish and Lil’wat Nations have coexisted respectfully as neighbors since time immemorial. We have thrived on the bounty of the ocean, the rivers, and the land — living in close relationship with the world around us. Our cultures are grounded in rich, ancient traditions, and continue to grow and evolve in a modern world.
We have built the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre (SLCC) to share our cultural knowledge to inspire understanding and respect amongst all people, and we hope that by visiting our Cultural Centre, that you will embrace this vision and live by it.
Our Cultural Centre, located in beautiful Whistler BC, embodies the spirit of partnership between two unique Nations who wish to preserve, grow and share our traditional cultures. It stands as testimony to our proud heritage — from time immemorial to the present.
