Land Acknowledgement

All JA Central Ontario learning experiences and events occur on the territory of many Indigenous Peoples.

JA Central Ontario serves communities on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. We also acknowledge that Toronto, where we are based, is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit. This land is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.

JA celebrates the inspirational Indigenous Peoples and communities who call this region home and acknowledges the truth of Canada’s history. JA Central Ontario understands that reconciliation is a shared responsibility for all, requiring action every day.
