We acknowledge that we are on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in southern Alberta, including the Blackfoot Confederacy, the Tsuut’ina Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda Nations. We also acknowledge the Métis Nation within Alberta (Region 3). From a person-centred perspective, we honour each person’s unique history, culture, identity, and connection to land. I strive to create a space where everyone feels heard, respected, valued, and safe to be their authentic self.
