We acknowledge that we are living, working, and creating on the unceded territories of Indigenous Nations coast to coast. We thank them for having cared for these lands and waters with wisdom and mindfulness, and we extend this gratitude to all First Nations, Inuit and Metis Nations across Turtle Island. We acknowledge that there can be no reconciliation without truth, and commit to sharing and revealing that truth. We look forward to walking lightly, and working together in partnership as we continue to create, learn, heal and share.
