National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 🧡
Shambhala Music Festival acknowledges and is grateful to the Syilx, Sinixt and Ktunaxa Nations on whose land we work, live and play. We recognize that our Farmily comes together amongst the mountains, forests and rivers of the unceded, traditional lands of the Syilx, Sinixt and Ktunaxa Nations, and we honour that it is on this land that we can create the magic that is Shambhala Music Festival. We hope our guests will feel a connection and respect for these nations' past and future when they set foot on the farm.
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a time to pause and remember the children who never returned home from residential schools, honour survivors, and hold space for the families and communities who continue to carry these impacts. It is an opportunity for each of us to listen, reflect, and back our acknowledgment with meaningful action.
To support Indigenous education, culture, and artistic leadership, we are proud to continue our annual grant initiatives: the University Bursary Program and the Art Grant Program.
We extend our sincere congratulations and gratitude to our 2026 funding recipients:
🧡 2026 University Bursary Recipients: Jamie Adams, Jasmine Burrows, Zachary George Cardinal, Maya Sophia Dalgleish, Brittany Haugen, Eden Lauren, Cheyenne Levesque, Jhordanne Tetrault, and Shayla Turner.
🧡 2026 Art Grant Recipients: Jayde Goodon (Professional Artist Grant) and Alana McMullen (Emerging Artist Grant)
Thank you to this year’s recipients for the leadership, talent, and creativity you bring to your communities. Applications for 2027 initiatives will open in the coming months.
