Volunteer Recognition Wall

We would like to thank all of our volunteers for believing in our work.

​

Thank you for contributing your time, without your dedication we would not be able to make the difference we do in many lives. 

A Message from our
Volunteer Manager, Samantha Jennings Willan

Our Volunteers Make the Difference
At the Centre for Grief and Healing (BFO-Halton/Peel), we are deeply grateful for the compassion, time, and dedication our volunteers bring to every interaction. Their presence offers comfort, connection, and hope to those navigating grief. This wall is a small tribute to the big impact they make we simply couldn’t do this work without them. Thank you for walking alongside our community with such care.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We want to acknowledge the land on which we gather, and where the Centre for Grief and Healing (BFO-H/P) operates. This land has been and is still inhabited by many Indigenous Peoples since the last Ice Age which was 13,000 years ago. In particular, we acknowledge the territory of the Anishinabek-Ojibway/Chippewa, Huron-Wendat, and Haudenosaunee peoples. The land that is home to the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit people. We are grateful to now be on the land that is the land of Indigenous Peoples since time began.

​

The land we are presently on is under the stewardship of the Mississaugas of the Credit, who are the signatories of the treaty and holders of the area. We recognize that the land we are on was taken away through colonization, oppression, and expropriation. In the hopes for a better future and building relationships, we recognize, require, and honour what is in the truth and reconciliation report and the calls to action. We acknowledge and are grateful for having the privilege of being where we are, for this land, and for the Indigenous Peoples who have and continue to inhabit this land.

 

This Land Acknowledgment was created in collaboration with Indigenous Elder, Cat Criger.
