First Nation’s farewell canoe season with ceremony at Civic Plaza

Archival Item

"It is serendipitous timing that this week’s flurry of snow will coincide with the sleeping ceremony for a canoe named Semá7maka. As the fine powder descends, Semá7maka, meaning "snowbird" in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Sníchim (Squamish language), will be laid to rest: the canoe season will close, and the onset of winter will be officially welcomed."
