Announcements

January
Good morning WK, it’s January 14, Day G and these are your morning announcements. WK would like to begin by acknowledging that we are in Mi’kma’ki , the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. We are all Treaty people, and our relationship is based on peace and friendship. Acknowledging Mi’kmaw traditional and ancestral territory is a way of showing respect for and honouring our shared Treaty relationship. It is one of many important steps we can take toward reconciliation.
