visitors are going to be local people anyway, coming in to do some archival research or drop off an artifact. We are requiring masks for everyone; recommending appointments to make sure we have enough space to keep staff, volunteers, and patrons distanced;
and encouraging staff and volunteers to work from home wherever possible.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hello all <br>
<br>
What a great conversation to start. We too are working towards a decision. We are a large Cultural Centre, Museum, Cafe and Gift Shop in Whistler, BC.<br>
<br>
Tourism Whistler has closed it’s visitor centre until November 26th, discouraging visitor travel to Whistler. On Tuesday, with this in mind, and after talking to staff and the leadership team, the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre in Whistler closed to the
public this week. The majority of our guests are tourists, and although my dream is that one day our First Nations museum will be an essential service to locals (so they can learn about the land they work, live, and play on; gleaning stewardship and knowledge
from Squamish and Lil’wat Nations), we are not there yet and need to take action that mitigates exposure from groups deciding to not follow Dr. Henry’s recommendations.<br>
<br>
· The SLCC staff are all healthy, with no reported COVID cases amongst them or their community<br>
· We are still running private tours for schools – both in person and virtually<br>
· Our online Gift Shop is still open, with curbside pickup options <a href="http://www.slcc.ca" target="_blank">
www.slcc.ca</a><br>
· This month we will be bringing back the successful “Bringing Home the Bannock” Friday take out dinner and meal kit options<br>
· The Indigenous Youth Ambassador Educational program will still be taking place in the building<br>
· We are scheduled to reopen on November 26th, but are now reassessing based on Trudeau and Dr. Henry’s recent “essential travel” announcement.<br>
· During this 4 day closure our safety protocols have been reaffirmed as we continue to make the SLCC a safe, inspiring, and welcoming place for visitors and locals<br>
<br>
At the SLCC we are 95% Indigenous staff living on reserve traveling up to 3 hours a day to work in Whistler. I am so proud of the staff and the example they have been in their communities over the last 8 months. The young Indigenous adults working in the building
have taken actions and stepped up their safety protocols selflessly, embracing a deeper isolation in order to save Elders and Knowledge Keepers, preserving a near-extinct language, culture and history. They make their ancestors proud, and their great-grand-children
will know the benefits of this sacrifice and love. <br>
<br>
In Canada we call them the most vulnerable. In COVID, I have witnessed the Indigenous people as the most powerful. Their stewardship, intent, and compassion for each other is saving lives.<br>
