Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge with gratitude that we are gathered on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations—lands that these Indigenous Peoples have stewarded since time immemorial. We recognize that you may be on other Indigenous territories across Turtle Island. Land acknowledgments are a step toward awareness, reconciliation, and respect for Indigenous histories, cultures, and ongoing presence. We are committed to fostering inclusivity and understanding in our communities.Armed Forces Acknowledgement
