Level Up meets on land that is the traditional home of the Haudenosaunee (Ho-deh-no-show-nee), Anishinaabe (Ah-nish-nah-bay) and Chononton (Cho-non-ton) People. We recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this place. We also recognize the contributions Indigenous peoples have made in shaping and strengthening this community. We are grateful for the opportunity to meet here and re-affirm our collective commitment to make the promise and the challenge of Truth and Reconciliation real in our community.

We recognize that staff and participants benefit from the use and occupation of this land. Consistent with our values of community and inclusion, we have a responsibility to acknowledge and make visible our relationship to Indigenous peoples. By offering this Land Acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and will work to hold governments more accountable to Indigenous peoples.
