Edmonton Land Acknowledgement

Child Development Dayhomes of Alberta respectfully acknowledges that our office and dayhomes in the Edmonton area are located on Treaty 6 and North Saskatchewan River Métis Territory, a traditional gathering place for diverse Indigenous peoples including the Cree, Blackfoot, Métis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Ojibway/Saulteaux/Anishinaabe, Inuit, and many others whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to influence our vibrant community.

We acknowledge the traditional lands upon which we live, work and play.  We recognize that all Albertans are Treaty People and have a responsibility to understand our history so that we can honour the past, be aware of the present and create a just and caring future. CDDH celebrates and values the resiliency, successes and teachings that Alberta’s Indigenous people have shown us since time immemorial.

There is much work to do to honour the TRC calls to action and CDDH remains committed to this work until Truth and Reconciliation is realized for all Indigenous peoples, families and especially children.
