At the Bewicke entrance, Jody Broomfield (Sinámḵin) has created a colourful gateway feature entitled, ‘We Hold Our Hands Up to You – Wa chet ḵ'ayáchtntumi’. Designed to welcome trail users as they enter or exit the traditional Squamish Village of Eslh7ah, the sculpture features a pair of hands held in an upright position, to symbolize a traditional Salish welcoming gesture that is often used as a show of respect towards others.
