Acknowledgement
At LeapHaven, we honour that we live and work on the traditional lands of Indigenous Peoples across Canada—First Nations, Inuit, and Métis. We recognize their long history of stewardship and their ongoing contributions to our communities.
As we support students, newcomers, and families, we acknowledge that we are guests on this land. We commit to learning, respecting these histories, and playing our part in reconciliation through the way we serve and care for others.
