We respectfully acknowledge that we are located on the traditional and ancestral territory of many Indigenous peoples in Treaty 6, including the Cree, Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Dene, Saulteaux, and many others. We are grateful to work and learn in partnership with Indigenous communities across Treaty 6 and Treaty 8, and as an act of reconciliation, are committed to decolonizing our practice as settler Occupational Therapists.
