where passion meets education

We acknowledge that we are hosted on the Lands of the Mississaugas of the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the Wendat. 

We also recognize the enduring presence of all. 

First Nations, Métis and the Inuit.

It is with gratitude and humility that I share: 

I live as a guest in Tkaranto on Lands, established under the Dish with One Spoon and Wampum Belt treaties.

I seek to learn more from Indigenous Peoples by listening to their stories, perspectives, truths, and lived experiences and inviting our learners to do the same.

With humility and respect as a settler, I commit to learning about and changing my ongoing complicity in settler-colonialism in Canada and building relationships of trust based on the leadership of Indigenous Peoples and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action.

What This Land Has Given Me

This Land has given me a home, diverse relationships and friendships, opportunities to learn and grow, and a rich landscape to explore freely.

Reflect: What has the Land given you today? What are you grateful for?

What I Give to This Land

I hope to give back to this Land by protecting the water, preserving nature and resources by taking only what I need and respecting the spirits of all creation. 

I will work to help young learners in our communities do the same by being stewards of this Land and change-makers in society. 

Reflect: What have you given to the Land?
