"We acknowledge that our campus is located on traditional, unsurrendered and unceded Algonquin Anishinaabeg Territory; and that the work of reconciliation is a responsibility of our congregation, and of all Canadians."
Our goal is to educate ourselves and all who have ears to hear, to be of service to those who are at risk, and to advocate for justice.
