We acknowledge that we live, love, work, and play on the traditional territories of many Indigenous nations. We honour the ancestral stewards of the lands on which we reside and extend our gratitude to them.
Further, we are mindful of the profound impact that industrialization, colonization, and globalization have had on Indigenous peoples and their social connections across the globe, as well as the intergenerational trauma that these ongoing processes inflict on them.
Informed by this recognition, we are committed to understanding and learning from the past, promoting reconciliation, truth, and healing in the present, and we strive for a future of equity, understanding, and harmony for and with all the peoples with whom we share this planet and its lands.
