Land Acknowledgement
I was blessed to grow up in the beautiful Boreal forest of northern Manitoba Canada on Treaty 5 territory, where I was raised amidst the rich legacies, wisdom, and enduring resilience of First Nations and Inuit peoples. Today, as my business operates out of southern Manitoba, situated on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Dakota and Red River Metis, I respectfully acknowledge that these lands have always been Indigenous lands.
I am forever grateful for the impact First Nations culture and spirituality have had on my life and value their partnerships and friendships made across this land. I am committed to ongoing education, reflection, and action. I am conscious of the painful impacts of colonization and the continued work needed to address its legacy. With humility and sincerity, I pledge to support efforts toward healing, justice, and reconciliation and continually strive to deepen my understanding of the diverse histories, traditions, and lived experiences of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities, and I pledge to support meaningful reconciliation through informed, thoughtful action.
