A few months ago The Free Radicals partnered up with S2S First Nations artist James Harry to produce some shirts in an effort to raise funds for local First Nations outdoor youth programs. 100% of these shirts proceeds are going to Indigenous Life Sport Academy and the Squamish Nation Youth MTB supported by SORCA. ![]()

Some words from the artist James Harry himself regarding the designs he developed.![]()

"For the long sleeve shirt, I choose to represent the Raven because of my personal connection through experiencing raven spottings on the mountain. The extended sleeve design represents the raven's wings. The front design of the long sleeve shirt is a continuation of the represented raven. I wanted to connect the design back to mountain biking.![]()

The t-shirt design represents Blacktusk mountain, with two thunder birds and an ancestor at the bottom. Indigenous storytelling taught me how we’re connected with the supernatural, spirit, and physical worlds. I wanted to represent Blacktusk because I think it’s an important landmark for the Sk̲wx̲wú7mesh Úxumixw and L̓il̓wat7úl Ucwalmícw. While visiting Whistler, it’s also one of the significant neighboring mountains visitors see when reaching the summit. My passion for Blacktusk comes from my own personal experience of hiking to the top and taking the surrounding nature. The front design for the t-shirts is the Coast Salish Eye. It's important because it reminds us that we’re constantly being watched over by our Ancestors."

"Together with communities all over B.C. GoByBike BC Society wants to encourage more people to #gobybike with events like these. Riding to and from work, getting groceries, dropping the kids off at school, recreational rides hitting the trails or exploring the region – or just getting around on two wheels instead of using a motorized vehicle is better for the environment and your physical and mental health. #AnyRideCounts"![]()

Registration is FREE, participation is FUN, and you can WIN some great prizes. Ride as part of a team, because riding with friends is even more fun!" - GoByBikeBC![]()

TA NÉWYAP (A formal hello to a gathering) ��Tomorrow marks the National day for Truth and Reconciliation, a day to recognize and remember current and past injustices suffered by Indigenous people in Canada in order to focus ourselves on ways of addressing them for a future where we coexist in respect and love.� �It is in the spirit of mutual respect and love that we convey to you a significant happening in our community.� �On August 22nd, 2022, Squamish Nation and SORCA signed an MOU that entrusts SORCA to act as a steward of the trails on lands that have been rightfully returned to Squamish Nation by the Government of British Columbia.![]()

Under the agreement, SORCA will care for the Xay Temixw (Sacred Land), will be accountable to Squamish Nation for their care and will be responsible for communicating the use of these lands to trail users as authorized by Squamish Nation.� �SORCA is honoured to be entrusted by Squamish Nation in this way. It is a measure of love and respect we will seek to reciprocate in every action we take. ��We invite our membership to participate in the act of recognition, remembrance and hope by attending the events being held at O'Siyam (thank you) Pavilion from 1:00 - 3:00 on September 30th 2022.��**The orange shirt is a symbol of remembrance of the forced assimilation of Indigenous children by the residential school system. We will be rocking our orange shirts tomorrow and hope to see you in yours. Tag us in your stories so we as a community can show solidarity and support on this day of Truth and Reconciliation.**� �AYÁS CHXW! (Have a good one!) and see you at the Pavilion.
