"Two Brothers" spirit poles were erected as part of revitalizing Centennial Square with the addition of a Spirit Square.
“We give thanks to the “Two Brothers” (cedar trees) for allowing us to transform them into teachers that acknowledge the ability of aboriginal peoples to preserve and continue the cultural practices of their ancestors. We are proud that the City of Victoria has included the inherent keepers of Lekwungen Tung’uxw (Songhees Lands) in their transformation of this square."
