We recognize that a land acknowledgement is a living document that will change as our learning grows about the land and its original peoples. We are grateful to the original and ongoing caretakers of this land and for the opportunity to live, work and create in Toronto. We are inspired by treaty values in the spirit of community, coming together, truth and reconciliation. Miigwetch, nya:węh merci and thank you to the peoples on whose territory we are able to live and thrive.
