On National Truth and Reconciliation Day, we want to acknowledge that Indigenous people have a deep spiritual connection to the land. We, the Aphasia Institute, acknowledge that the land (Toronto) we are meeting on is the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaune and the Wendat people, and is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit and Metis. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit. We honour the lost children, and survivors of residential schools, families, and communities, and recognize the ongoing challenges and systemic racism this community faces today.

"The value of formal SCATM training has been immense for me – both in practical applications and in “grand ideas” for the future. It has really re-focused my [Speech-Language Pathology] SLP practice on the practical outcome of increasing life participation and independence/autonomy in future conversations. "
