Building strong communities for over 40 years

We recognize that reconciliation requires more than reflection. It calls for listening, learning and an ongoing commitment to truth, accountability and meaningful action. As we reflect on this day, we encourage our community to continue learning from Indigenous voices, histories and experiences, while honouring the strength, resilience and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.

We are grateful to the Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) and the Government of Ontario for their longstanding support on behalf of communities we serve. Their continued investment has helped us strengthen our capacity and create culturally-responsive spaces, programs and services that reflect the lived experiences, strengths and needs of our Black, African and Caribbean (BAC) individuals and families across Peel Region. We appreciate their ongoing partnership and support as we continue working alongside our communities to foster care, connection, opportunity and well-being.
