Grace Point is a Musqueam Band Member and has studied hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ formally through the UBC FNEL Program. She has developed a solid understanding of the language and has excellent speaking skills. Grace embraces Musqueam’s rich heritage and ways – she even fishes the same Fraser River that her father and grandfather did before her. She has a background in Administration, and has many years of Elementary School volunteer work.
Grace is eager to put her skills to work, as the Early Primary Language Education Liaison, where she will work directly with the Musqueam Preschool to develop and deliver programs and materials to the preschool children.
