Land acknowledgement

Our head office sits on ancestral and unceded Indigenous territory, a place known as Tiohtiá:ke in Kanien’kéha and Mooniyang in Anishinaabemowin. We recognize that the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation are stewards of the lands and waters of this territory, which has long been a place where meetings and exchanges among nations have occurred.

We see all sectors working together to address climate change, to help foster reconciliation, and unleash individual creativity and organizational resources to solve social challenges and to strengthen communities.
