Qathen Xwegus Management Corporation - Calling Klahoose Artists,  Squirrel Cove, B.C., January 15, 2026

 

​

Qathen Xwegus Management Corporation (QXMC) is the economic development arm of the Klahoose First Nation. QXMC is proud to steward and operate a growing portfolio of Klahoose-owned enterprises, including Klahoose Wilderness Resort (ʔiýčəm̓màyič), and Gorge Harbour Marina Resort (sāʔy̓ł) on Cortes Island. These businesses are recognized for their commitment to Indigenous tourism, cultural integrity, and community-based economic growth.

​

As part of this commitment, QXMC is pleased to begin expanding support for Klahoose artistic and creative development, with a focus on showcasing both established and emerging Klahoose / ɬoʔos artists within our business spaces. Our intention is to fill these spaces with authentic Klahoose artistic expressions that reflect our stories, values, and connection to the land.

​

This initiative is designed to bridge tradition and innovation, increasing the visibility of Klahoose artists as part of a collective creative presence shared within our territory and with visitors from around the world.

​

QXMC has the privilege of managing business ventures that align with community values, respect the land, and support the long-term vision of the Klahoose people. Every opportunity we pursue is evaluated not only for its immediate benefit, but for its ability to contribute to sustainable prosperity for future generations.

​

We warmly invite Klahoose / ɬoʔos artists to share their portfolios, whether through physical samples, digital files, websites, or links, for consideration.

​

Thank you,
ʔimot!
