Acknowledgements
Territorial Acknowledgement
CICan acknowledges that our offices, located in Ottawa, are on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation whose presence here reaches back to time immemorial.
Further, CICan respects and affirms the inherent and Treaty Rights of all Indigenous Peoples across this land. CICan has and will continue to honour the commitments to self-determination and sovereignty we have made to Indigenous Nations and Peoples.
CICan acknowledges the historical and on-going oppression of lands, cultures and the original Peoples in what we now know as Canada and fervently believes that education contributes to the healing and decolonizing journey we all share together.
