Land Acknowledgement 

In the spirit of reconciliation, I acknowledge that we are located on Treaty 7, the traditional homelands of the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut'ina, the Îyârhe Nakoda (Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations), and the Otipemsiwak Métis. I acknowledge that the nutrition profession has contributed to the harm of First Nations, Metis and Inuit people in the past and present. In working towards reconciliation, I am committed to reducing harm by continuing to learn Indigenous history and values and unlearning harmful beliefs and practices. I also strive to create a safer space for marginalized communities, including respecting traditional foods and health practices and offering lower-cost options to those in need.
