The District of Central Saanich, in partnership with the W̱SÁNEĆ Leadership Secondary School (WLSS), is proud to announce the unveiling of a new sign at HEL,HILEȻ.
The event, held on September 29 at HEL,HILEȻ, featured speeches, dances, and the unveiling of the new sign, which showcases custom artwork by WLSS student LIQIŦIÁ Elliott. Elliott is from BOḰEĆEN and W̱JOȽEȽP. HEL,HILEȻ (pronounced hul-he-look) means “place of gladness” in SENĆOŦEN and was proposed by students following a 2022 march to the park in which they sought a renaming of the park.
Led by drummers, hundreds of WLSS students and faculty once again marched to the park to participate in the ceremony and celebrate the accomplishment of the students involved in the initiative.
