Land Acknowledgement

At FIREFLY, we acknowledge the traditional territories of many Indigenous peoples across Ontario. We honour the rich histories, vibrant cultures, and the enduring connections of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples to these lands and the waters that surround us. We are committed to building meaningful relationships with Indigenous communities, grounded in humility, respect, equity, and reconciliation, as we work alongside families to create healthy, resilient futures.
