RaceRocks is on a journey of learning, growth and understanding as we encapsulate what it means to be a “People First” company. Part of this journey includes learning about the history and culture of Indigenous peoples.
RaceRocks recognizes and acknowledges that our head office and many of our team members are located on the unceded Coast Salish Territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples. Additionally, as a remote-first organization with staff across Canada, in what is also known as Turtle Island, we honour all First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples and their valuable past and present contributions to this land.
