In the spirit of reconciliation, Andra Arnold & Associates acknowledges that the lands we live and work on are ancestral homelands of the Anishinaabek Peoples, specifically the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We stand in solidarity on Treaty 3 or “Between the Lakes Purchase” territory. As settlers of this land, we are committed to peace, friendship, and respect of past, present, and future First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. We will continue to listen, learn and acknowledge Indigenous history and the present issues and discrimination that First Nation peoples face as we work towards truth and reconciliation.
