This land continues to be home to diverse Indigenous Peoples (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) whom we recognize as contemporary stewards of the land and vital contributors to our society. By recognizing Indigenous peoples’ relationships to this land, we make explicit Indigenous peoples’ ongoing presence in this place, and their rights to self-determination, as well as our shared and individual responsibilities as a community of teachers and learners to uphold those rights, to contribute to the work of truth and reconciliation, and to celebrate, honour, and educate ourselves about Indigenous cultures.</div> <div style="text-align: center;"></div> </div>  <div class="grid_3" style="margin:0px;
