Indigenous Programming at the Hornby Community Hall

Over the last two years, we have been honoured to have Cultural Knowledge Keeper and Pentlach Descendant, Elder Barbara Whyte (Billy) lead the festival’s Indigenous programming. The Hornby Festival respectfully acknowledges the many Indigenous connections to Hornby Island and looks forward to this continued and growing body of work in 2023. The Hornby Festival is committed to intentional and meaningful Indigenous-led collaborative programming and has added this proclamation to our official mandate at the 2023 AGM.
