chawilin
In 2017 shishalh Nation Elders Language group and the SCRD began a project to provide and/or translate SCRD park names into the shashishalhem (Sechelt language). Coopers Green Park is translated as chawilin.
Pronunciation: The aw sounds like the ow in English ‘now’. i sounds like the a in English ‘mate’. The first two syllables have strong stress.
The name chawilin was chosen by the shishalh Elders Language Group because the park has a trail that goes down to the beach and the elders felt this name best represents the trail at the park.
Meaning: trail (of animal) down to shore. (Sechelt Dictionary, Page 486)
