CASLPO acknowledges the lands upon which our offices are located are the traditional territories of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples.
We acknowledge that Tkaronto (a Mohawk word meaning “the land where trees stand in the water”) is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit. These lands are now home to many diverse Indigenous peoples and communities. We are thankful to the peoples who have since time immemorial cared for Turtle Island, which includes the land we now call Ontario. Acknowledging these traditional Indigenous territories is one way for us to recognize the rights and history of Indigenous peoples.
We are grateful to call these lands our home, where we enjoy the land and natural resources. We are all members who share a “Dish with One Spoon”, a treaty between the Anishinaabeg, the Mississaugas and the Haudenosaunee that teaches us to live on these lands with respect, non-violence, and sustainability.
CASLPO recognizes the negative and pervasive impact of colonization, segregation as well as discrimination in our society. In the work that we do, we are committed to developing, encouraging and fostering an environment of diversity, inclusion, equity and belonging. We recognize that these principles contribute to good decision making and supports the delivery of health care in the land we now call Ontario.
The College posts resources on this page to help registrants reflect on and respond to the fundamental importance of diversity, equity and inclusion within the health care context. In our ongoing efforts to combat racism and discrimination, we welcome suggestions for more resources from registrants and the public.
Your questions or ideas for positive change are welcome. Please contact the College at [email protected].
