This year marks a decade since the Sno’uyutth (Snow-why-ith) pole was raised at Oak Bay High. Designed by Songhees artist Butch Dick and carved by Clarence Dick, Sno’uyutth (Snow-why-ith) stands as a symbol of reconciliation and cultural respect. Join us in honouring this legacy by spreading good energy today and every day.
