We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we operate and serve our community is the traditional territory of the Indigenous peoples. This region known as York Region is part of the Dish With One Spoon Treaty territory, which is an agreement between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas, and Haudenosaunee peoples to share and care for the land.
We are dedicated to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment where everyone’s voice is valued and respected. Our aim is for all individuals to feel like they belong here at CCSYR. To achieve this goal, we are committed to ongoing education, proactive initiatives, and open dialogue. Our goal is to cultivate a culture where diversity thrives and all members feel empowered to contribute their unique perspectives.
