Stride Land Acknowledgement & Commitment to Reconciliation

Stride acknowledges that our offices are located on the Treaty Lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Traditional Territory of the Haudenosaunee, Huron-Wendat, and Anishinabek peoples. We honour the enduring presence of Indigenous peoples and are grateful to work on this land.

We are committed to person-centered support that empowers individuals living with mental health and/or addiction challenges through meaningful employment. We recognize the systemic barriers faced by Indigenous communities and strive to center Indigenous voices in our work.

Stride is dedicated to building Indigenous partnerships, engaging in continuous learning through Indigenous-led training and events, and advancing Reconciliation. Guided by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action, we focus on:

• Closing education and employment gaps
• Improving health outcomes related to mental health and addictions
• Fostering respectful relationships through meaningful consultation
• Ensuring equitable access to employment, training, and education
