The image used in our annual meeting branding is of a mortuary pole carved by famed Indigenous artist Bill Reid and his assistant Werner True. It can be found in Stanley Park in Vancouver, British Columbia. We encourage our members to visit the pole and learn more about the importance of mortuary poles to the West Coast Haida peoples.
