VanLUG is 100% volunteer-run. All Board of Directors and Executives volunteer their time and effort for free. Donations go toward maintaining our website, Discourse platform, network infrastructure, and expenses related to our in-person meetings. Any amount helps. Thank you for sharing your resources.

VanLUG acknowledges that we meet, learn, and collaborate on the shared territories of many Indigenous Peoples, including the q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), q̓ʷɑ:n̓ƛ̓ən̓ (Kwantlen), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), máthxwi (Matsqui), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), Semiahmoo, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), scəw̓aθən məsteyəxʷ (Tsawwassen), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh). We respect the diverse and distinct histories, languages, and cultures of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit.
