The Grindstone Award Foundation would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the traditional lands of the Indigenous Peoples. We pay respects to the Indigenous Peoples past, present, and future as caretakers of this land.

We recognize the significant role that the Indigenous Peoples have sustained and continue to play in shaping and strengthening our community, our nation, and our relationship with Mother Earth and with one another. We reflect on the ways we can actively participate in reconciliation, and support the inherent rights, traditions, and cultures of Indigenous Peoples.

We are grateful for the opportunity to work and live on these lands, and we commit ourselves to learning, understanding, and honouring the traditions and cultures of the Indigenous Peoples.
