Make the Land Acknowledgement Meaningful

The Land Acknowledgement is about relationship. Where are you? Who are the people of this place? Who are you? 

It can represent a commitment to social change, a way to remind yourself and others of your responsibilities.

Listen To (or Read)  Indigenous Voices

Strengthen relationships through Reconciliation by centring Indigenous voices and lived experiences. Engage in learning that explores and values Indigenous knowledge, culture and perspectives to create respectful relationships among students, staff, families, and local Indigenous communities.
