Opening Ceremony: Ravensview Cultural Space

Homewood Ravensview honours the rich spiritual and cultural traditions of our Indigenous communities. Our new Cultural Space stands as a beacon of tranquility and connection. We were deeply honoured to have Pauquachin First Nation speaker Lyle Henry, Tsartlip First Nation Elder, May Sam, and her son Scott Sam, attend this ceremony and bless this sacred space.
This space stands as a testament to our commitment to honouring the identities and sacred traditions of the Saanich Nations (Pauquachin, Tsawout, Tsartlip, and Tseycum Nations).
Thoughtfully designed with recovered and salvaged natural materials, this space offers tranquility and connection. It ensures that we always consider what the full spectrum of healing looks like, regardless of our origins. Through this endeavor, we hope to foster an environment where cultural heritage and wellness intertwine.
