Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that long before Canada was a country, strong nations and cultures existed here – and, continue to exist. The Canadian lands on which CTC operates have been the site of human activity for 15,000 years. Today these lands and lakes continue to be home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities from across Turtle Island, also known as North America.
Our home office, located in what is currently known as Toronto, is situated on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee Nations. This location is covered by Treaty 13, signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties, signed with multiple Mississauga and Chippewa bands. We are grateful that we can live and work here, and we are committed to building and sustaining a relationship with Indigenous peoples based on respect, dignity, trust and cooperation.
At CTC, we know that land acknowledgements mark a small but important step in the journey of confronting the truth and
working towards reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. We are in the early stages of our journey. As we look ahead and live
our Core Values, we are committed to acknowledging the truth and advancing our reconciliation journey.
