PHSA has been gifted six Coast Salish teachings which direct us in our work and in our relationships with each other.

At this time of Truth and Reconciliation, when we are committing to the B.C. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act legislation, we must look at and act on things differently.
