We acknowledge that we are on traditional territories in Alberta of the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit people whose footsteps have marked these lands for centuries. We respect the histories, languages and cultures of First Nations, Métis, Inuit and all First Peoples of Canada whose presence continues to enrich our community. We recognize the land as an act of reconciliation and gratitude to those whose territory we reside on or are visiting. We acknowledge the history of birth on these lands where First Nations, Métis and Inuit people were the first birth protectors.
