At Stlbx and Victoria Shipping Containers Inc., our acknowledgment goes beyond words. It is an honor, a privilege, a responsibility, and an opportunity.In the spirit of deep gratitude and respect, we recognize and pay tribute to the ancestral and unceded territories of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the Xwsepsum (Esquimalt), Lekwungen (Songhees), Sc’ianew (Beecher Bay), and the W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples, represented by the Tsartlip, Pauquachin, Tsawout, Tseycum, and Malahat Nations.

As a team, a company and a family owned business, we are deeply grateful for the privilege to live, work, and gather on these sacred lands. These territories, marked by their profound beauty and rich cultural heritage, have been carefully stewarded by Indigenous Peoples for countless generations.We pay our utmost respect to the elders—past, present, and future—whose wisdom and resilience continue to guide us. Their spiritual connection to the land, their enduring traditions, and their stories offer invaluable lessons on living harmoniously with the earth and with one another.

We thank them for their patience and grace in sharing this land and for the opportunity to learn from their teachings. We commit to walking gently and respectfully on these lands, honoring the treaties, and fostering reconciliation and coexistence. Every day, let us remember that we are privileged to live and work on these ancestral territories.

May this understanding guide our actions, relationships, and collective journey toward a more just and inclusive society. With gratitude, humility, and a profound sense of responsibility, we extend our deepest appreciation to the Coast Salish Peoples for their generosity, wisdom, and ongoing guardianship of these sacred lands.
