🧡Before we step into the magic of story and theatre, we pause to honour the land beneath our feet. We are gathering on the ancestral home and traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, and Neutral peoples. We carry so much gratitude for the chance to learn, create, and grow together on these lands and waterways.

​

As a community of young creators and families, we know that stories have power, and so does the truth.

With soft and caring hearts, we remember and mourn the Indigenous children who were taken from their homes to residential schools, those who did not return, and those still missing. We honour the children who were denied the right to play, speak their language, and be loved by their communities. We hold their memory close, today and always.

​

May our art, our kindness, and our actions honour their legacy as we learn to live together in truth, reconciliation, and peace.
