About this service
hwq'uwiil-tham'sh accompany me
With our youth in the lead, we walk with them to provide multiple programs open voluntarily to Cowichan youth across the Agency, community and to children and youth serviced by MCFD who have Cowichan Connections.
The program remains youth-led, with a core value of bringing key teachings to connect us to our land, culture, and to inspire us through traditional arts.
The YEP program houses the Lalumutul Smuneem CFS Canoe Family, a youth-led, youth focused canoe family that participates and trains for the annual Tribal Journeys. This program was germinated with a partnership with Coast Salish carver, Luke Marsten, who was commissioned to carve the YEP programs traditional cedar canoe. This program, the Xews skweyul Program at Lalumutul Smuneem, was created to provide a cultural immersion for the Cowichan Youth and Children in care but has expanded beyond to include youth led participation.
