A mid-meeting scene with four people seated at a conference table, each wearing red lanyards. From left to right: a young woman in a white sweater speaking; an older woman in a grey knit sweater resting her hand near her chin; a younger person in glasses and a pale green hoodie looking attentively to the side; and another young adult with long blond hair, glasses, and a patterned sweater, seated quietly with hands folded. Name placards and water cups sit on the table, with stacked chairs and meeting materials visible in the background.

A large committee-style meeting is underway in a bright room with floor-to-ceiling windows. About twenty people sit around several joined tables, laptops open, documents spread out, and nameplates in front of them. Most wear red or blue lanyards. Some participants are speaking while others listen, take notes, or look at screens. Coats and bags rest at their feet. The scene has the focused, slightly weary energy of a full-day governance session, with late-autumn trees visible outside through the windows.

Acknowledging the land and God’s creation

This acknowledgement is crafted in light of the Principles of Reconciliation by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, as we seek to live faithfully in Christ and in right relationship with all. 

We give thanks to the Creator for this land, its waters, forests and all living beings, and for the abiding presence of Christ among us. From coast to coast to coast, these have been cared for and nurtured by First Nations, Inuit and Métis through countless generations. 

We honour the enduring relationship Indigenous Peoples have cultivated with these lands and waters, and the treaties and agreements that reflect these sacred bonds. We acknowledge the harms caused by colonial expansion, through frameworks like the Doctrine of Discovery and structures like the residential school system. We recognize our past failures as a Church, including disruption of connections to the land and suppression of Indigenous spiritualities. 

Guided by the gospel of Jesus Christ, we confess our need for healing. We commit ourselves to seeking truth, pursuing reconciliation and nurturing harmony with all creation. We place our trust in Christ, through whom all things are reconciled to God. 

May God strengthen us to live faithfully as stewards of the Earth. Let us walk in love, justice and reconciliation, joining in God’s work to restore all creation.
