Land Acknowledgment
We would like to begin by acknowledging the Indigenous Peoples of all the lands we are on.
Join us in taking a moment to acknowledge the importance of the lands, we each call home. We do this to reaffirm our commitment and responsibility in improving relationships between nations and to improve our own understanding of local indigenous peoples and their cultures.
From coast to coast, we acknowledge the ancestral and unceded territory of all the Inuit, Métis, and First Nations people that call this land home. Please join us for a moment of reflection to acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and to consider how we can each, in our own way, find a way forward in a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
About Us
Harrison's Hope is founded on the principle of lifelong support for individuals and families living with FASD. We recognize the need for a continuum of services that starts with prevention education and extends to senior care, fostering inclusion and interdependence.
