Acknowledgement of Territory

An important act of Reconciliation is the Acknowledgment of Territory. Acknowledgements demonstrate respect for local First Nations and their traditional territory–recognizing their ongoing presence on the land. Link to learn more.

With gratitude, we acknowledge that GFSS resides on the unceded traditional territory of the Sylix and Sinixt People. We also acknowledge the enduring presence of all First Nations, Inuit, and Métis People. May we always live and care for these lands with respect.

MISSION STATEMENT

We are committed to leading with integrity, fostering strong relationships, and continuing to partner with families and our community to support the success and well-being of every learner. We know that schools flourish when students, families, and staff feel connected and supported. By learning the traditions, celebrating the accomplishments, and listening to the stories that make GFSS unique, we strengthen the sense of belonging that defines our school community.
