PEOPLE - CULTURE - COUNTRY

In the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation, WIYALA acknowledges the traditional lands and the First Nations community’s commitment to its continued care. We recognize First Nations peoples’ unique cultural and spiritual relationships to Country. 

We honor Indigenous Peoples’ deep and enduring connections to this land. Their history, culture, and contributions are integral to our national identity and the ongoing management of these traditional lands amidst economic development.  We are privileged to live and learn on their traditional lands, and we express our gratitude for this opportunity.  We honor the Elders of the past and all the existing Indigenous caretakers of these lands and waters before us. 

Let us move forward together with respect, understanding, and a shared commitment to reconciliation.
