Kitchener Rotary is looking to work toward truth and reconciliation with Indigenous communities
Our goal is to build an understanding of the need for reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.
We will accomplish this through education, engagement in joint activities with Indigenous Peoples as well as establishing partnerships to restore right relationships with Indigenous Peoples.
We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we live and work today is the land traditionally used by the Haudenosaunee, Anishnaabe and Neutral people. We also acknowledge the enduring presence and deep traditional knowledge, laws and philosophies of the Indigenous Peoples with whom we share this land.
