Territorial and Reconciliation Acknowledgement

Hi Lindsay,
You are welcomed to personalize this acknowledgement. They should come from a personal and sincere place. Ours is a good start.

We respectfully acknowledge that the land on which we are hosting this meeting –
the land that sustains us – includes the ancestral territories of many First Peoples.
Canada Health Infoway recognizes the colonial injustices experienced by
Indigenous Peoples, many of which continue today and continue to affect their
health and well-being. I invite all attendees to reflect on the privilege they have of
living, working and playing in the territory from which you are joining this call, and
invite you to commit yourself with me to having an open heart and an open mind;
to forging culturally safe spaces for and relationships with Indigenous Peoples
including Two-Spirit people in Canadian health care; and in making a meaningful
contribution to reconciliation through our shared work.

Best,
Kelly

At the last meeting (one of my first) I noticed this working group had a great Territorial Acknowledgement which included a reconciliation acknowledgement. I was wondering if I could obtain, use and share this verbiage?

My apology this post is a bit off topic, but this is the only way to securely contact the members of this group.
