I acknowledge that I live, work, parent, play, walk and grow within Kanata (Canada), specifically on the lands of the Syeelhwh Nation. I am dedicated to deepening my knowledge and understanding of the true history of the Indigenous peoples of Kanata and recognizing the profound impacts of colonization, including the loss of lives, ceremonies, languages, and teachings. I recognize that I am an uninvited guest and settler on these lands, and I am committed to honoring the sovereignty and rights of the Indigenous peoples whose territory I inhabit.
