We received an email about this and have updated our blog as it was never our intention to infer that one group of passengers is better or worse than another. We want everyone to feel welcome and safe using our ropeway system. It escaped our eyes during the editing process and we are thankful it...
We'll have more to share soon on our indigenous engagement. You may also want to read Kirsten Goa's thread today. It's quite extensive and we would love it if you could share on your networks:
