Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge that the SafeHarbor Project is operating on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat peoples. Since the settlers built their nation on the stolen land, the neglect, displacement, abduction, and abuse against the Indigenous individuals also started. As settlers on other people's land, we have the responsibility to urge the Canadian government to reconcile with the Indigenous communities and to continue to advocate for Indigenous rights. 

We would like to thank Dr. Izumi Sakamoto at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto for providing academic mentorship for this project.

The SafeHarbor Project is a recipient of the PopUp Grant 2023 from Laidlaw Foundation.
