Treaty 5

We acknowledge, respect and have the honour of working on lands in Treaty 5 Territory, a treaty that was first negotiated and entered into in 1875. Treaty 5 Territory is the traditional and ancestral lands for many Indigenous peoples, including the Cree and Métis. In a spirit of reconciliation and collaboration, we all work as one.
