We acknowledge that we live, work, play and meet, on the territories of Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island, now called Canada. The Canadian Paralympic Committee’s main offices are on the traditional and unceded territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation. We recognize the importance of honouring the past, acknowledging the present, and working towards a future that embraces reconciliation and respect for Indigenous Peoples.

We are each responsible for holding good relations with the local First Peoples, who continue to fight for their rights as sovereign Nations. We honour the stewardship of the many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit that call this land home today. We strive to stand in solidarity and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and Nations across Turtle Island.
