We acknowledge the traditional territories in which we all live, work and play. We acknowledge the land because of those who have lived, worked, and played here first, as well as to build respectful relationships. Acknowledging the land is an important part of reconciliation. We are called to honour the authentic history of Canada, its original peoples and not be afraid to tell the story of the creation of this country that has historically been missing.
