This past September in honor of Truth & Reconciliation month we hosted a SOLD OUT event in partnership with the amazing team at And-Co Offices here in downtown Vancouver. The ‘Feed your Spirit’ lunch n learn was truly a one-of-a-kind event featuring the indigenous cuisine and heartfelt storytelling of Inez Cook founder of Salmon ‘n’ Bannock Bistro in Vancouver, BC. Inez shared her personal story in finding her indigeneity, how she connected with her culture and how that ultimately shaped the atmosphere of her award-winning restaurant. We want to raise our hands to Inez for sharing her story, and the team at And-Co Offices for creating the space to amplify indigenous voices and businesses in this beautiful territory. #FriendsofITBC #AmplifyIndigenous #IndigenousStorytelling #Allyshipinaction
