Land Acknowledgement

This Congress is being held in Vancouver, British Columbia.  In the spirit of Truth, Reconciliation, Friendship, and Reciprocity, we would like to acknowledge that we are on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. This place is a testament to the enduring presence and resilience of Indigenous Peoples, and we honour their deep connection to these lands and waters.
