Land Acknowledgment

We welcome everyone in the spirit of reconciliation, deeply committed to building positive and respectful relationships. We honour and acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the unceded and unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin Nation. We are grateful to be able to live, learn, pray and share with all creation on these lands. With respect, we recognize the enduring connection of the Algonquin people to this territory, and we express our gratitude for their stewardship and resilience.
