On the Land is a portrait series that answers the question “What does it mean or what has it meant to live on this Indigenous territory?” In this pandemic era, many of us are trying to find a place where we feel safe and belong. Now is the time to reflect and ask yourself this question.

We invite you to be in the community with us during #PeaceWeek2022. Take a moment to reflect on the difficult years behind us, and then look forward to the year ahead by joining us from September 17-25, 2022.
