UFCW Locals 175 & 633 acknowledges that living and working on these lands provides us with many privileges. Our offices are located on the traditional unceded territories of several First Nations who are the original stewards of the waters and land of Turtle Island. These First Nations include:

• Anishinabek
• Wendake-Nionwentsïo (Huron-Wendat)
• Haudenosaunee
• Attiwonderonk (Neutral)
• Mississauga
• Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation
• Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk)
• Omàmìwininìwag (Algonquin)
• Myaamia (Miami)
• Caldwell

These territories, though never ceded, fall under the following Treaties:

• Treaty 13A, 1805/Head of the Lake Purchase (Mississauga area);
• Treaty 3, 1792 (Cambridge area);
• Crawford Purchase, 1783 (Ottawa area);
• Treaty 2, 1790 (Leamington area), and;
• The Robinson-Huron Treaty 61, 1850.

As a Union, we take the responsibility of representing all workers and fighting for advancements in human and workers’ rights seriously. It is our pledge to do our part to:

• Advance Reconciliation and raise awareness through providing educational resources and information to our Members;
• Work with First Nations groups such as the First Nations Child & Family Caring Society (which UFCW Canada is proud to partner with) to support and advance the important causes those groups represent;
• Take an active role in the work to dismantle and repair existing racist and classist systems which only serve to further suppress the voices and lived experiences of First Nations people and cause ongoing real harm to generations of families.
