For millennia, First Nations peoples have lived on and cared for this land, their deep connection to it rooted in culture, identity, and spirituality. We respectfully acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of many diverse Indigenous nations located within the intersecting traditional territories of multiple First Nations and is home to diverse Indigenous peoples including the Metis. We recognize the historical and ongoing injustices faced by Indigenous communities. Though we may not fully comprehend the depth of these experiences, we commit ourselves to learning and reflection. We believe that sincere words can open hearts and inspire change. As fellow children of the Creator, we commit to walking the path of reconciliation together.
