    Land Acknowledgment

    The YouCAN project takes place across the traditional, unceded territories and ancestral homelands of the Mi’kmaq, Wolastoqiyik, Beothuk, the Innu of Nitassinan and the Inuit of Nunatsiavut and NunatuKavut. As First Peoples have done since time immemorial, we strive to be responsible stewards of the land for the next seven generations and beyond. We acknowledge and respect the diverse cultures, ceremonies and traditions of all who call this region home, and commit to working in the spirit of truth and reconciliation to make a better future for all.
