What an Amazing Day!

Our grand opening at Telegraph Cove brought two cultures together on the historic boardwalk, with our dances, a warm welcome from the Cove and four hereditary chiefs showing their support for the new venture.

By Mike WillieJuly 7, 2013

Our Grand Opening was a great success at Telegraph Cove! It was spectacular to be able to share our dances on the historical boardwalk and bringing two cultures together was enjoyed by everyone. Sea Wolf Adventures really felt a warm welcome by owner Gordie Graham. Howard Pattinson, owner of Tide Rip Tours, also gave a warm welcome to our company opening at the Cove. Chief William Wasden of the ‘Namgis was the master of ceremonies accompanied by Chief T’ɬakwagila (Art Dick) of the Mamalilikala, Chief T’ɬakwadzi (Norman Glendale) of the Da‘naxda’xw, and Chief Yakaɬanlis (Don Willie) of the Kwikwasut’inuxw and together they showed their full support for our new business venture. We want travelers to know that we are very active in revitalizing our language and culture. Passing the teachings down to the next generation is key to Sea Wolf Adventures.

Gilakas’la, he’am ‘mawisdɬa. (Thank you, that’s all for now)!
