On June 18 2018, the City of Vancouver, xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and sə̓lílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) announced šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énk Square as the new name for the plaza on the north side of the Vancouver Art Gallery.
šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl’e7énk Square refers to a place where a cultural gathering occurs such as a wedding, funeral, naming, honouring, or coming of age ceremony. The name uses words in both local Indigenous languages: hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ (the language of Musqueam and Tsleil-Waututh) and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (the language of the Squamish Nation).
