We are grateful to live and work on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We thank the First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities that have cared for Turtle Island since time immemorial. With this acknowledgment, we remind ourselves of discriminatory, racist and colonial practices that have and continue to create barriers for Indigenous peoples and communities across Turtle Island.

Susan Hanson
Festival Director
Susan was a Business Education high school teacher for almost 10 years before becoming a Freelance Interpreter in 2004 for Korean/English. Then, in 2005, she decided to pursue her passion for acting which included Stage, Commercial, and TV&Film. Susan’s stage debut was in 2018 as “Umma” in the award winning stage performance of “Kim’s Convenience” at Chemainus Theater. Susan has appeared on TV shows such as, “The Man in The High Castles”, “Woke”, “Flash”, and most notably, a recurring role in “A Million Little Things” as Joo Hee Kim, a character that required Susan to be in the make-up chair for 4 hours to create. Susan continues to pursue her passion for acting.
