With support from Chair Birgit Wartenberg and the Indigenous Peoples Partnership Cluster committee, the Board of Directors passed a motion to include a land acknowledgement into the Thursday meeting format. We understand how important this is to many and trust we have been able to define a simple yet respectful statement.
We acknowledge that we are on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee people and express our gratitude to them for allowing us to live and learn on their land.
