In the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation, the Ontario Nurses, Association recognizes that our work, and the work of our members,
takes place on many traditional Indigenous territories across Ontario.
We also wish to acknowledge and recognize that the 2026 Anti Racism, Equity, & Human Rights Summit and Provincial Coordinators Meeting is taking place on
the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabeg, the Haudenosaunee, the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca,
and the Chippewa peoples and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. This meeting place is covered by Treaty 13 (1895) and
the Williams Treaties (1923).
ONA is committed on our reconciliation journey as we engage in discussions to learn together, and to support engagement and partnerships with First Nations,
Inuit and Métis peoples, governments, organizations, and communities.
