"The design echoes the Lions Gate Bridge which was named after “The Lions,” two peaks that the Squamish people call the “The Twins” or “Sisters.” This place name speaks to how twin Squamish high-born sisters helped bring peace between the Squamish and Haida people.
Two upright paddles are incorporated into the design to represent mutual respect. Between the paddles is a Squamish Thunderbird head which is the symbol for the Squamish Nation." (
