Land Acknowledgement 


WARP operates on the unsurrendered territories of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg (Odàwàng).

The purpose of this land acknowledgement is to show recognition of and respect to the first peoples and original custodians of the land on which we live and work. We wish to acknowledge our positions as guests here, and support the movement toward decolonization.
