2022/23
We acknowledge that the land on which we gather in Treaty Six Territory is the traditional
gathering place for many Indigenous people. We honour and respect the history, languages,
ceremonies and culture of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit who call this territory home.
The First People’s connection to the land teaches us about our inherent responsibility to
protect and respect Mother Earth. With this acknowledgement, we honour the ancestors and
children who have been buried here, missing and murdered Indigenous women and men, and
the process of ongoing collective healing for all human beings. We are reminded that we are
all treaty people and of the responsibility we have to one another.
