      <image:title>Blog - Speaking on our Salmonberry - Our Berry of the Summer</image:title>
      <image:caption>Sharing about this relative is always a delight for me; I would like to clarify that ‘yetwán’ means Salmonberry, and yetwánáy means the salmonberry bush as a whole. Yetwán is a beautiful berry that heavily resembles a raspberry. This plant will grow in darker areas of the rainforest, usually under tall trees such as the douglas fir and red cedar. Their leaves and flowers begin to bloom in the spring months (right now!), and the berries will begin to grow from these delicate leaflets in late May or early June. Keep an eye out on your walks for the beautiful pink of the salmonberry flower!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Speaking on our Salmonberry - What’s Unique about our Yetwánáy?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Yetwánáy is one of our tallest native plants in BC. They can grow up to 13 feet in height! Though the berry resembles raspberries, their colours can span from yellow, orange, red and even purple! The way to figure out if it is Yetwánáy or raspberries is through the bark or stems. Yetwánáy bark is brown, and flaky to the touch. Watch out for those thorns, though!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Speaking on our Salmonberry - Songs of the Salmonberry Bird</image:title>
      <image:caption>A story that the Squamish people would share with their children was the story of the Salmonberry Bird, or the Swainsons Thrush. The Salmonberry Bird invited Raven over one day, and called out her children. She gave her children their woven red cedar baskets and began to sing to her children. As she sang to them, the baskets filled to the brim with berries, and to the Raven she gave them. Raven rushed the Salmonberry Bird to his home despite her hesitance, grabbed his children, and attempted to sing; though no berries ever filled their baskets. This was a short, sweet story to teach the children about our Swainson's Thrush. It is a small, brown bird that will regularly eat the berries off of our Yetwánáy. It is said that her song is what sweetens the berries. If you see one, and especially if you hear one, look out for any Salmonberries around you, as those will be the sweetest!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Speaking on our Salmonberry - Our Relationship with Our Berry Relative</image:title>
      <image:caption>Yetwánáy was and is a very important piece of flora in the BC area. This berry wasn’t ideal for preserving and was instead used commonly as a snack while foraging for more preservable fruit. However, the berries weren’t the only tasty part, as the shoots under the bark make for a fantastic snack called ‘Saski.’ The leaves, berries and flowers make for a delicious tea that was also traditionally used for treating anemia and easing labour pains!</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - &amp;nbsp;Tem lhawt’: Time to Feast&amp;nbsp; - Welcoming the Time of the Herring</image:title>
      <image:caption>Tem lhawt’, meaning time of the herring in Sḵwx̱wú7mesh sníchim, is almost upon us. This is the month of March. It is a sacred time of the year to honour the return of each spawning herring and to welcome them back to hospitable shores. Whispers of anticipation are carried on every tidal exchange as winter softens bringing more sunlight with each passing day. It’s time to prepare for a great feast!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This particular type of potlatch, however, will be catered by our non-human relatives, the iconic Pacific herring. Some guests will travel hundreds of kilometers to attend this annual celebration as many Indigenous peoples have done throughout the centuries. Whales, seabirds, wolves, humans and many more, coming together to share in the decadence of herring and their roe.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - &amp;nbsp;Tem lhawt’: Time to Feast&amp;nbsp; - The Gift Economy of Reciprocity</image:title>
      <image:caption>I think of the bounty of this spawning event as part of the gift economy, collectively practiced by countless generations of species thriving together in reciprocal relationships. I imagine days, precontact, where Indigenous peoples would bring gifts of ḵwáýtsay, or western hemlock branches to the shore in anticipation of the return of the spawning herring - a loving act of reciprocity.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The soft, flat needles of ḵwáýtsay are a welcome site for spawning herring, providing shade, shelter and more surface area along the shoreline for eggs to adhere. This offering helps promote robust herring populations year after year and facilitates the creation of a delicacy Coast Salish peoples have enjoyed for centuries.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - &amp;nbsp;Tem lhawt’: Time to Feast&amp;nbsp; - A Nutrient-Rich Coastal Delicacy</image:title>
      <image:caption>Herring roe is an exceptionally rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids that support brain and heart health. This combination of herring roe coated ḵwáýtsay needles which are rich in vitamin C and citrus flavour along with the subtle pop and crunch makes for a delightfully nutritious sensory experience - a welcome treat after a season of eating mostly cured foods.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - &amp;nbsp;Tem lhawt’: Time to Feast&amp;nbsp; - How Herring Sustain the Whole Ecosystem</image:title>
      <image:caption>This very modest offering supports more than just the Pacific herring themselves. It bolsters the abundance of the entire ecosystem. In a similar way that salmon feed our forests, so too do Pacific herring, cycling vital nitrogen from the sea to land. Emergent herring also become one of the first available food sources for many species of salmon smolt as they begin their transition from freshwater to a marine environment. Beneficial effects can be seen from soil microbes to apex predators of our coastal western hemlock zone.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Talking Trees - What to Expect</image:title>
      <image:caption>Each Talking Trees tour is unique; shaped by the land, the season, and the stories of those who walk with us. Your journey begins with a land acknowledgment and gentle introduction from your Cultural Land Ambassador. Together, you’ll walk among towering cedars, maples, firs, and wild berries, exploring how Indigenous peoples have lived sustainably in this region since time immemorial. Through engaging stories, hands-on teachings, and sensory invitations, you’ll discover the traditional uses of plants and trees for food, medicine, technology, and culture. Along the way, you’ll learn about the “Tree of Life”, its sacred gifts, from transportation, housing, clothing, and ceremony. Your guide will share how Indigenous communities have practiced stewardship, selective harvesting, and reciprocal relationships with the land. Each experience is shaped by the season and the group’s interests. You’ll be invited to slow down, notice the forest’s intricate details, and reflect on our connection to the natural world. No experience is required, just a willingness to listen, learn, and be present. Every tour includes a cup of Indigenous tea, a moment for gratitude, sharing, and community.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Talking Trees - Where We Meet</image:title>
      <image:caption>We invite you to join us for a guided forest walk at Stanley Park’s Beaver Lake Loop, one of Vancouver’s most cherished natural spaces. Our tour begins at the Stanley Park Bus Loop, located near the Stanley Park Pavilion and Vancouver Aquarium, where guests can easily arrive by public transit, taxi, or private vehicle. From here, we’ll take a short, gentle walk into the forest to reach Beaver Lake, a serene oasis surrounded by towering cedars, maples, and hemlocks. The Beaver Lake Loop Trail is a well-maintained gravel path with moderate inclines and benches along the way, making it suitable for most participants, including families and guests with varying mobility levels. We recommend sturdy walking shoes and dressing for the weather, as the trail can be damp in shaded areas. As we circle the lake, you’ll experience the quiet rhythm of the forest, learn about its ecological and cultural significance, and discover how this special place has been cared for and sustained by Indigenous peoples since time immemorial. Accessibility: This experience also provides ASL ( American Sign Language ) interpretation for our guests.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Spoken Treasures - What to Expect</image:title>
      <image:caption>Spoken Treasures is a historical walking tour told through Indigenous lens; an opportunity to listen, reflect, and walk on these lands with awareness. Guided by a Talaysay Cultural Ambassador, this tour shares the stories and lived histories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musquem) people whose ancestors have called this place home since time immemorial. The experience offers truth without embellishment. You’ll hear about pre-contact life, the impacts of colonization, and the resilience of Indigenous communities today, not as distant history, but as a continuous story that shapes who we are. At the heart of this tour is reciprocity: guests are invited to listen with respect, to hold what is shared with care, and to consider how learning on this land creates responsibility. Every Spoken Treasures walk concludes with a cup of Indigenous tea, a quiet moment to reflect, ask questions, and share in dialogue.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Spoken Treasures - Where We Meet</image:title>
      <image:caption>We begin our Spoken Treasures walk at the Stanley Park Information Booth, a gathering point just steps from the entrance to the park. From here, we follow the Seawall toward the Totem Poles (Pápiyuḵ Village), tracing a shoreline where generations have gathered, traded, and shared stories. The tour concludes at the totem poles, a powerful space to reflect on the histories and continuities of Pápiyuḵ Village. This route offers guests a quiet, reflective walk through one of Vancouver’s most iconic landscapes; a place where culture, land, and memory are deeply intertwined. Accessibility: The path is mostly paved and highly accessible, suitable for wheelchairs, strollers, and mobility aids. Paid parking is available near both the Information Booth and the Totem Poles, with a short, easy walk between the two locations for those who prefer to park at one and finish at the other. This experience also provides ASL ( American Sign Language ) interpretation for our guests.</image:caption>

Guided by a Talaysay Cultural Ambassador, you’ll explore the rich ecosystems of the Salish Sea, learning how Indigenous communities have lived in balance with these tides for millennia. Your journey begins with a land acknowledgment and a gentle orientation to the relationships that connect us to this place. As you walk along the coast, you’ll discover how the rhythms of the ocean, the forests, and the seasons sustain life; from shellfish and seaweed to towering cedars and the medicines found among them. Through stories, teachings, and sensory invitations, you’ll gain insight into traditional harvesting practices, sustainable technologies, and the deep cultural teachings that remind us to live with respect and reciprocity. This tour is interactive and reflective. You’ll be invited to notice patterns in the sand, the textures of rock and seaweed, and the songs carried by the wind and waves. Together, we’ll explore what it means to be in relationship with the natural world, and how each of us is part of the larger story of the Salish Sea. Every tour concludes with a cup of Indigenous tea; a moment of gratitude, connection, and conversation.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We gather for Salish Sea &amp; Me at Second Beach (St’itewekw) in Stanley Park, near the Ceperley Park Washrooms and picnic area; a beautiful meeting place between forest, sand, and sea. This location offers accessible parking, nearby washrooms, and plenty of shaded seating while you wait for the tour to begin. Our walk begins along the Seawall, one of Vancouver’s most iconic waterfront paths. From here, we make our way toward English Bay, moving through a landscape where forest meets shoreline. Along the way, your Talaysay Cultural Ambassador will share stories and teachings about the Salish Sea; its ecosystems, its significance to Indigenous communities, and the reciprocal relationships that sustain both people and place. When the tide is low, we take time to explore the intertidal zone, uncovering seaweed, shellfish, and small marine life that reveal the richness of coastal biodiversity. This hands-on exploration becomes a gentle scavenger hunt that encourages curiosity and respect for the living shoreline. Guests are invited to participate in a brief beach clean-up, practicing care for the land and waters we walk upon. This tour blends storytelling, learning, and stewardship in one of the most scenic and ecologically diverse stretches of the Salish Sea. Accessibility: The route follows a flat, paved path suitable for most mobility aids, with short sections on packed sand during low tide. This experience also provides ASL ( American Sign Language ) interpretation for our guests.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Love the Land - Discover the ways we can work together to maintain sustainable land-stewardship practices.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Love the Land Adventures in Land-Based Learning and Ethnoecology is a walking tour in North Vancouver, the telmixw (land) of Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. This story starts with an introduction to our Sḵwx̱wú7mesh peoples, waters and ways of living as an ecologically sustainable society. "Love the Land" is a philosophy and way of life that emphasizes a profound, reciprocal relationship with the Earth. Rooted in Indigenous values in North Vancouver, it represents a deep respect for nature, viewing the land not as property but as a living entity that sustains and connects all beings. We recognize that these people of the land have worked together in stewardship and management by collaborating and working by effective protocols for thousands of years. We will consider how this beautiful landscape faces climate change and loss of biodiversity and the effects of excessive/extractive harvesting and pollution. As a generation we are in a unique position and opportunity to come together as a community, both indigenous and settler, to experience, inquire and learn the ethnoecology, of the place we call home.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Love the Land - What to Expect</image:title>
      <image:caption>Love the Land is an invitation to reconnect with place; to walk gently, listen deeply, and remember the living relationships that sustain us. Guided by a Talaysay Cultural Ambassador, this reflective walking tour explores the teachings of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) peoples, whose stewardship continues to shape these lands and waters. Through story, observation, and dialogue, guests learn how the land itself holds memory; teaching balance, reciprocity, and respect. Throughout the tour, you’ll explore themes of ecological interconnection: the life cycles of salmon, the restoration of forest gardens, and the vital links between land and water that support all living beings. Each step reveals how traditional Indigenous knowledge guides contemporary understandings of food security, biodiversity, and climate resilience. This is a slow, conversational experience, blending storytelling, cultural teaching, and quiet reflection. Guests are invited to consider their own place within these systems, and how care for the land begins with attention. Every Love the Land tour concludes with a cup of Indigenous tea, shared in gratitude and reflection; a moment to pause, connect, and carry the teachings forward.</image:caption>

Guests can find ample parking throughout the area, and our tour begins beside the main hatchery building before following gentle forest trails that wind along the water. This is a quiet and shaded location where eagles, songbirds, and other wildlife are often seen. During salmon spawning season, the river becomes alive with movement; offering a firsthand glimpse of the cycles of renewal that shape both ecosystem and culture. Guests are also welcome to visit inside the hatchery to learn more about local restoration efforts and salmon life cycles. Accessibility: Accessible parking spaces are available directly in front of the main building, and public washrooms are located inside.

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Talking Totems - What to Expect</image:title>
      <image:caption>Talking Totems, located in Pápiyuḵ Village, offers a guided exploration of the rich traditions of Coast Salish and Northwest Coast Indigenous art. Led by a Talaysay Cultural Ambassador, this tour invites guests to learn how stories, histories, and ancestral teachings are carried through the carved forms of totem poles and arch ways in Stanley Park. Each carving tells a story; of lineage, land, and life. Through these works, guests are introduced to the cultural protocols, symbolism, and artistry that connect generations of carvers and communities across the coast. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how these monumental works embody Indigenous law, kinship, and respect for all living beings. This is an experience of listening and looking, not only at the art itself, but at what it represents: the resilience of peoples who have kept these teachings alive through art, ceremony, and storytelling. Every Talking Totems tour concludes with a cup of Indigenous tea and an opportunity to reflect, ask questions, and share in conversation.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We gather for Salish Sea &amp; Me at Whytecliff Park in West Vancouver, near the concession stand and main parking lot. This is one of the most breathtaking points along the Salish Sea; a place where forested cliffs meet the open ocean and tidepools reveal a world of life beneath the surface. From our meeting point, we make our way down to the beach and shoreline, pausing along the way to learn about the cultural and ecological significance of this coastal landscape. Your Talaysay Cultural Ambassador will share stories and teachings of the Salish Sea, the marine relatives that inhabit these waters, and the responsibilities we hold in caring for them. As tides shift, we explore the rocky intertidal zones, observing seaweeds, shellfish, and the rhythms of life between land and sea. Guests are encouraged to move at a comfortable pace and to bring curiosity, and maybe a camera, for this stunning natural classroom. Accessibility: The path down to the beach includes uneven and rocky terrain, which may not be suitable for all mobility devices. Walking sticks or canes are recommended for balance. Parking is available in a large nearby lot (paid, when in effect), with accessible washrooms and picnic areas near the concession stand.

Together, we’ll explore what it means to be in relationship with the natural world, and how each of us is part of the larger story of the Salish Sea. Every tour concludes with a cup of Indigenous tea; a moment of gratitude, connection, and conversation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Salish Sea &amp;amp; Me - Where We Meet</image:title>
      <image:caption>We gather for Salish Sea &amp; Me at Porpoise Bay Provincial Park (Klaath Village) on the Sunshine Coast, meeting at the interpretive sign near the playground and picnic area. This serene coastal setting offers a gentle blend of forest, field, and shoreline; a place where eagles soar overhead, salmon return to the creek, and the tide shapes the landscape with quiet rhythm. Our walk begins along the beach and grassy shoreline, where the forest opens to sweeping views of the Sechelt Inlet. As we move together through sand, driftwood, and salt-tolerant grasses, your Talaysay Cultural Ambassador will share teachings about the Salish Sea, its marine life, and the enduring relationships between people and these coastal ecosystems. When the tide is low, we’ll take time to explore the intertidal zone, learning from seaweed, shells, and small creatures that thrive between land and sea. Guests are invited to participate in a light beach clean-up as we walk, a simple way to give back to the land and waters that sustain us. Accessibility: The terrain is mostly flat and even, with sections of sand and small rocks along the beach. This route is suitable for most participants using walking sticks or canes for balance. Washrooms, parking, and shaded picnic areas are available near the meeting point.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Love the Land Adventures in Land-Based Learning and Ethnoecology is a walking tour on the Sunshine Coats , (land) of shíshálh (Sechelt) Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Nations. This story starts with a  land acknowledgment and introduction to the Coast Salish peoples, waters and ways of living as an ecologically sustainable society. "Love the Land" is a philosophy and way of life that emphasizes a profound, reciprocal relationship with the Earth. Rooted in Indigenous values on the Sunshine Coast, it represents a deep respect for nature, viewing the land not as property but as a living entity that sustains and connects all beings. We recognize that these people of the land have worked together in stewardship and management by collaborating and working by effective protocols for thousands of years. We will consider how this beautiful landscape faces climate change and loss of biodiversity and the effects of excessive/extractive harvesting and pollution. As a generation we are in a unique position and opportunity to come together as a community, both indigenous and settler, to experience, inquire and learn the ethnoecology, of the place we call home.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Songs of Birds - Where We Meet</image:title>
      <image:caption>We gather at K’eximemen (Sargeant Bay Provincial Park), one of the Sunshine Coast’s most important coastal and wetland ecosystems. Our meeting point is the interpretive sign adjacent to the lower parking lot, where forest trails, marshland, and shoreline come together. This protected area is a haven for birdlife, where beaver marsh, forest edge, and coastal waters create rich habitat for both resident and migratory species. The setting naturally invites a slower pace; a place to listen closely, observe quietly, and move with intention. From our meeting point, we follow well-established park trails through forest and wetland areas, pausing to listen for birdsong and observe the relationships between land, water, and sky. Teachings are shared along the way, guided by the presence and movement of the birds themselves. Accessibility: Trails are generally well-maintained, with mostly flat terrain and some uneven natural surfaces typical of coastal forest and marsh environments. This experience is suitable for most participants who are comfortable walking at a gentle pace for approximately one hour. If you have specific accessibility needs or questions, we encourage you to reach out in advance so we can support your visit as best as possible.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Each Talking Trees tour is unique; shaped by the land, the season, and the stories of those who walk with us. Your journey begins with a land acknowledgment and gentle introduction from your Cultural Land Ambassador. Together, you’ll walk among towering cedars, maples, firs, and wild berries, exploring how Indigenous peoples have lived sustainably in this region since time immemorial. Through engaging stories, hands-on teachings, and sensory invitations, you’ll discover the traditional uses of plants and trees for food, medicine, technology, and culture.

      <image:caption>Each Salish Sea &amp; Me experience is a conversation with the shoreline; a meeting between land, water, and the people who have walked here for generations. Guided by a Talaysay Cultural Ambassador, you’ll explore the rich ecosystems of the Salish Sea, learning how Indigenous communities have lived in balance with these tides for millennia. Your journey begins with a land acknowledgment and a gentle orientation to the relationships that connect us to this place. As you walk along the coast, you’ll discover how the rhythms of the ocean, the forests, and the seasons sustain life; from shellfish and seaweed to towering cedars and the medicines found among them. Through stories, teachings, and sensory invitations, you’ll gain insight into traditional harvesting practices, sustainable technologies, and the deep cultural teachings that remind us to live with respect and reciprocity.

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Love the Land - Discover the ways we can work together to maintain sustainable land-stewardship practices.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Love the Land Adventures in Land-Based Learning and Ethnoecology is a guided walking experience hosted in Squamish, on the homelands and waters of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation). This experience begins with an introduction to the local people, waterways, forests, and the enduring relationship between community and land in this region. “Love the Land” is a teaching and a way of life, a reminder that our responsibilities to the Earth are reciprocal. In Squamish, this philosophy reflects the long-standing values of respecting the land as a living relative, not an object or resource. It is a worldview shaped by thousands of years of land-based knowledge, careful harvesting practices, and community stewardship. At Alice Lake, guests are invited to slow their pace and reconnect with the forest through stories of ecology, history, and restoration. Together we consider how this landscape has changed over time, how climate change and biodiversity loss are affecting local ecosystems, and how Indigenous land stewardship offers pathways of care and renewal. As a generation, we find ourselves in an important moment, a chance to learn together, to bridge Indigenous and settler perspectives, and to understand the ethnoecology of the places we call home. “Love the Land” is an invitation into that relationship: to observe, to inquire, and to walk with respect.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Love the Land - What to Expect</image:title>
      <image:caption>Love the Land is an invitation to reconnect with place; to walk gently, listen deeply, and remember the living relationships that sustain us. Guided by a Talaysay Cultural Ambassador, this reflective walking tour explores the teachings of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and shíshálh (Sechelt) peoples, whose stewardship continues to shape these lands and waters. Through story, observation, and dialogue, guests learn how the land itself holds memory; teaching balance, reciprocity, and respect. Throughout the tour, you’ll explore themes of ecological interconnection: the life cycles of salmon, the restoration of forest gardens, and the vital links between land and water that support all living beings. Each step reveals how traditional Indigenous knowledge guides contemporary understandings of food security, biodiversity, and climate resilience. This is a slow, conversational experience, blending storytelling, cultural teaching, and quiet reflection. Guests are invited to consider their own place within these systems, and how care for the land begins with attention. Every Love the Land tour concludes with a cup of Indigenous tea, shared in gratitude and reflection; a moment to pause, connect, and carry the teachings forward.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Talaysay Tours offers Indigenous cultural learning experiences for schools that invite students to learn through connection with land, story, and place.

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - School Programs - What to Expect</image:title>
      <image:caption>Each school program is designed with students’ ages, learning styles, and group dynamics in mind, creating an experience that is supportive, engaging, and grounded in care for both people and place. While content may draw from our established public tours, school programs allow for slower pacing, deeper discussion, and thoughtful adaptation to suit classroom learning goals. Guides create space for curiosity, questions, and reflection, ensuring students feel welcome to participate at a level that feels right for them. Programs may include: • Guided cultural walks grounded in Indigenous knowledge systems • Storytelling that connects land, water, people, and history • Opportunities for observation, listening, and inquiry-based learning • Moments for reflection, discussion, and group connection Whether students are encountering these teachings for the first time or returning with prior knowledge, each experience is facilitated to feel intentional, respectful, and appropriate for the group. All school program tours are 60 minutes in duration. Indigenous Tea Ceremony is available upon request.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Paddle Tours - Multi-Day - Coastal Paddling, Camping &amp; Cultural Learning</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our multi-day paddle tours are immersive, expedition-style journeys shaped by tides, teachings, and time on the land. Designed for small to medium sized groups, these experiences invite participants to travel by water across the Sechelt Inlet and surrounding area; including Hotham Sound and neighbouring coastal water. We camp along the shoreline and engage with stories and learning over multiple days. Each expedition is guided by experienced paddlers and Cultural Land Ambassadors, offering both skill development and space for reflection, relationship, and connection. Some journeys are slower, contemplative routes; others involve full days on the water covering meaningful distance. Typical travel can range from shorter shoreline segments to 20+ km in a day, depending on route, conditions, and group readiness.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Paddle Tours - Full Day - What to Expect</image:title>
      <image:caption>Your day begins with check-in at Porpoise Bay Provincial Park, followed by orientation, outfitting, and a safety review. Those arriving early may add an optional forest walk before launch. Once on the water, we travel along the shoreline at a comfortable pace, with cultural teachings and ecological knowledge woven throughout the journey. Everyone is supported in learning at their own rhythm, with guides close by to assist as needed. Midway through the day, we come ashore for a lunch break and time to swim or simply rest on the beach. Food is provided, and this moment on the land offers space for reflection, connection, and conversation. The paddle typically lasts 5–6 hours, depending on conditions, tides, and group rhythm. Optional Add-On: Talking Trees Walking Tour (9:00–10:00 AM) Begin your experience with a 1-hour forest walk at Porpoise Bay before your launch. This gentle add-on shares plant teachings, Indigenous ecological knowledge, and cultural stories of the coastal rainforest — led by a Cultural Land Ambassador while we prepare your paddle gear. (+$30.00 per person / $70.00 value)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Salish Sea Journey - A Shared Journey on the Salish Sea - Indigenous Storytelling &amp; Coastal Canoe Experience</image:title>
      <image:caption>Talaysay Tours and MacSailing come together to offer a unique, land-and-sea-based experience that blends Indigenous storytelling, marine ecology, and a guided coastal canoe journey along Vancouver’s shoreline. This three-hour experience begins on the beach with Indigenous guides from Talaysay Tours, sharing Coast Salish teachings about the ocean through story, science, and lived knowledge. The journey then continues on the water in a voyageur canoe, guided by MacSailing’s certified instructors, offering a deeper connection to the Salish Sea from shore to paddle.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Tours &amp; Experiences - Salish Sea Journey - What to Expect</image:title>
      <image:caption>This experience unfolds in two connected parts: Salish Sea &amp; Me (Land-Based Experience) Begin with an engaging beachside session led by Indigenous guides from Talaysay Tours. Through storytelling, observation, and discussion, you’ll explore the Coast Salish Peoples’ long-standing relationship with the ocean, learning about marine life, ocean systems, stewardship, and Indigenous ways of knowing. Coastal Canoe Journey (On the Water) Following the land-based experience, you’ll board a voyageur canoe with MacSailing’s guides for a guided paddle along Vancouver’s coastline. From the water, you’ll experience the Salish Sea in motion; observing shoreline ecology, ocean conditions, and the rhythms of the coast. No prior paddling experience is required. Every tour concludes with a cup of Indigenous tea; a moment of gratitude, connection, and conversation. A Living Relationship with the Salish Sea The Coast Salish Peoples have long lived in relationship with the Salish Sea, guided by values of respect, responsibility, and stewardship. This experience shares their stories, science, and teachings while inviting participants to reflect on their own relationship with the ocean; past, present, and future. Through both land-based learning and time on the water, Salish Sea Journey offers a holistic way to understand the coast as a living system, shaped by culture, ecology, and care.</image:caption>
