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.
