IRES offices are situated on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm) People. We have a very long way to go in engaging with Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm) and other First Nations to address this regrettable history and its ongoing legacy. Learn more at Our Values page.
