    Metchosin ArtPod is located on the traditional territory of the Schian’exw (Beecher Bay) First Nation.  This place is also shared with the neighbouring communities of the Ts’ouke (Sooke) and the Lekwungen peoples.  We acknowledge the Schian’exw (Beecher Bay) First Nation, and the lands on which we live, work, play, create art and offer community programs. We also give thanks to those who have gone before us, and for the living beings who are the stewards of this place.
