Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that the lands and waters we call home are situated on Mississauga lands and the traditional territory covered by the Williams Treaties. We are aware that our work extends beyond the territories mentioned above, encompassing the traditional lands of numerous other Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. We wish to express our profound gratitude and recognition to these groups for their care and stewardship of these lands, ensuring its well-being for generations to come.

Our Commitment to Reconciliation

We wish to cultivate meaningful relationships, founded on respect and empathy, to actively contribute to genuine reconciliation and healing. We are committed to an unwavering pursuit of continuous learning and understanding, to foster these relationships further.
