Land Acknowledgement

Nous reconnaissons que nous nous trouvons sur les territoires traditionnels, ancestraux et immuables des peuples Anishinàbe, algonquins et cris, territoires qui n’ont jamais été cédés ni abandonnés. Ces nations vivent sur ces terres, en prennent soin et en assurent la gestion depuis des temps immémoriaux. Nous exprimons notre profonde gratitude et notre respect aux peuples algonquins et cris, dont le lien immuable avec la terre continue de façonner et d’enrichir ces territoires pour les générations actuelles et futures.


En tant qu’établissement d’enseignement, nous reconnaissons les répercussions historiques et actuelles de la colonisation sur les peuples autochtones et nous nous engageons à tirer les leçons du passé. Nous nous efforçons de favoriser la compréhension, la guérison et la résilience grâce à des partenariats significatifs avec les nations algonquines et cries, ainsi qu’avec les Premières Nations, les Métis et les Inuits, dans un esprit de vérité, de respect et de réconciliation.


Nous comprenons que la reconnaissance des terres n’est qu’une étape vers une réconciliation significative. Nous nous engageons donc à soutenir ces paroles par des actions concrètes, l’établissement de relations et un engagement à créer des communautés inclusives, respectueuses et équitables pour tous.

We acknowledge that we are located on the unceded, unsurrendered traditional, ancestral, and enduring territories of the Anishinàbe Algonquin and Cree Peoples. These Nations have lived on, cared for, and stewarded these lands since time immemorial. We express our deepest gratitude and respect to the Algonquin and Cree Peoples, whose enduring relationship with the land continues to shape and enrich these territories for present and future generations.


As an educational institution, we recognize the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization on Indigenous Peoples and are committed to learning from the past. We strive to foster understanding, healing, and resilience through meaningful partnerships with Algonquin and Cree Nations, as well as with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples, in the spirit of truth, respect, and reconciliation.


We understand that land acknowledgements are only one step toward meaningful reconciliation. We therefore commit to supporting these words through ongoing action, relationship-building, and a dedication to creating inclusive, respectful, and equitable communities for all.
