Land Acknowledgement

We invite you to take a moment to recognize the land and examine your relationship to it. Locate yourself, in space, in time, in the season, in the current cultural and political climate. We reside in territories that stretch from coast to coast to coast, through the territories of more than 50 First Peoples.

We all come from different places and from each of these different lands come different stories. These stories are our legacy, so let’s make sure that our narratives are about positive change, breaking cycles, and not reproducing harm.
