Chén̓chenstway Healing Garden and Indigenous Food Forest
Chén̓chenstway — meaning 'to lift each other up, to stand and work together' in the Squamish language — is a free, publicly accessible Indigenous healing garden and food forest in Oxford Park, created through a partnership between the Vancouver Urban Food Forest Foundation, the Aboriginal Mother Centre Society, and the Vancouver Park Board. The site includes a Running Free Wildflowers Memorial Garden honouring children who never returned from residential schools. Regular community volunteer jams and plant teachings make it a living gathering space rooted in intergenerational, cross-cultural land stewardship.
