Let us keep reminding each other to breathe, to smile, to treat ourselves and one another with kindness. Let us hold each other when we need support, and let us challenge and remind each other of what is truly important. Let us take care of ourselves so that we don’t hand down our unfinished business to the next generation. Let us laugh together, and never lose our joy.

And let us take care of the children ~our children, all the children. Let us mobilize our fierce and passionate mother energy on behalf of all beings on this little blue-green planet we call Mother Earth.

I acknowledge that our home known as Canada, are on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinabe Algonquin Nation, Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueam peoples whose presence here reaches back to time immemorial.

I recognize the First Nations as the customary keepers and defenders of the this land and its tributaries. I honour their long history of welcoming many Nations to this beautiful territory and uphold and uplift the voice and values of our Host Nations.
Further, I respect and affirm the inherent and Treaty Rights of all Indigenous Peoples across this land. I have and will continue to honour the commitments to self-determination and sovereignty we have made to Indigenous Nations and Peoples.

! acknowledge the historical oppression of lands, cultures and the original Peoples in what we now know as Canada and fervently believes and will contribute to the healing and decolonizing journey we all share together.
(Incorporated from Canadian Council of the Art Indigenous Land Acknowledgement)

I celebrate the adopted land of which I call home, which has afforded me many freedoms and rights; to a degree. I celebrate the First Nations, a culture of profound peace, spirituality, meaning and purpose that has allowed me to settle; a foundation that could resonate with me. I am a visitor, an immigrant and cannot be one as a "Canadian" until truth, reconciliation and human rights are fully realized in this country.
