Bulletin
“We respectfully acknowledge the territory in which we gather as the traditional territory of the Beothuk and Mi’kmaq. We are conscious of the long and painful history of relations between the Christian church, colonial settlement practices and the harm caused to these lands and peoples. May we always seek to live with respect on this land as we search for collective healing and true reconciliation and honour this beautiful land together.“
