Land Acknowledgement

The Local Immigration Partnership acknowledges that our work takes place on the unceded, unsurrendered territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe and Omàmìwininì Peoples, who have cared for these lands, waters, and all living beings since time immemorial. We honour their enduring stewardship, cultures, and knowledge, and recognize that building welcoming communities begins with truth, respect, and meaningful relationships with Indigenous Peoples. As we work to foster belonging for newcomers and long-time residents alike, we are committed to listening, learning, and advancing reconciliation through our actions, partnerships, and shared responsibility for this land.
