To get early updates on our opportunities and events!
We would like to acknowledge that Millennium STEM BC is situated on the unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples—Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations, and we honour the many territorial keepers of the lands on which we work, seek to recognize and address the systemic barriers that have historically restricted Indigenous peoples from pursuing success in STEM fields, thereby excluding critically valuable diverse perspectives. Funding scientific research, and preserving their cultures, languages, and traditions. Our work in diversifying STEM spaces is not complete. Decolonization is an ongoing process—we aim to elevate Indigenous voices in all of our initiatives, and to continually grow our understanding of how we can contribute to the reconciliation process.
