The Community Health Centres of Northumberland respectfully acknowledge that we are located within, and are honoured to provide care on, the traditional territory of the Mississauga Anishinabeg, and Chippewa Nations, collectively known as the Williams Treaties First Nations which include: Curve Lake, Hiawatha, Alderville, Scugog Island, Rama, Beausoleil, and Georgina Island First Nations.
The Community Health Centres of Northumberland recognize the Williams Treaties First Nations are the stewards and caretakers of these lands and waters in perpetuity and will continue to maintain this responsibility to ensure the health and integrity for generations to come. We all share a responsibility to respect and protect the lands and waters that give us life and sustain us.
As an organization, we are committed to advancing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. We also recognize that reconciliation is a personal journey—one that each member of our team undertakes through ongoing learning, unlearning, and deepening their understanding of the land we share and our responsibilities to it and its original caretakers.
