As a national organization, we recognize the importance of thinking deeply about our shared responsibility to reconciliation, acting in accordance with the inherent rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples across Canada. We also have much to learn from the rich traditions of intergenerational solidarity that Indigenous peoples have lived with for millennia. Our leadership team members are grateful to live and work on the ancestral, unceded territories of the q̓ic̓əy̓ məlstəyəxʷ (Katzie), xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), and Omámíwininíwag Anishinaabeg peoples.
