Land Acknowledgement

Women in Communications and Technology acknowledges that our offices and work, located in Ottawa, are on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation whose presence here reaches back to time immemorial. 

We also recognize that the work of our Regional Chapters is carried out on traditional territory of First Nation, Inuit and Métis peoples from coast to coast. We are thankful that we are able to work and collaborate on these lands.
