kanab’s pursuit of a culture of diversity and inclusion has led to a better understanding of the history, traditions and culture of Canada’s Indigenous peoples. It is with a deep sense of appreciation that we declare the following acknowledgement:
While kanab is proud to call the York Mills – Don Mills area of North York the home of its first dispensary, it acknowledges that North York is the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, Haudenosaunee and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River.
kanab also acknowledges that Toronto is covered by treaty 13. This territory is the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas, and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. Subsequent Indigenous Nations and peoples, settlers and all newcomers have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect.
kanab recognizes that truth and reconciliation is a continuous process. By adhering to our values and leading with authenticity, we are committed to building positive relationships with Indigenous peoples, the wider community, and the environment.
