Building a community of hope for widowed parents

Land Acknowledgement

The Hummingbird Centre is in Waterloo Region, is located on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples. We acknowledge the enduring presence and traditional knowledge and philosophies of Indigenous people with whom we share this land today. This land which we learn, work, play and touch has been cared for by Indigenous peoples, long before European settlement. We commit to reconciliation through honouring the past, present and future contributions of Indigenous people and commit to fostering a space that respects Indigenous knowledge and culture. We commit to mutual learning and will support and honour Indigenous healing practices. We strive to foster an inclusive environment for grieving, learning, and connecting with others, in ways that align with cultural values and practices.

We acknowledge that many Hummingbird Centre members and guests join us from across the country. We encourage everyone to learn more about the deep history of the land you are on and how you can contribute to truth and reconciliation. For more information, please visit Whose Land – Welcome!
