Our work takes place on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. We recognize and honour the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples and stand in solidarity with the interconnected global struggle for self-determination, land back and sovereignty.

We stand in solidarity with the natural world—recognizing that our well-being is intertwined with the health of the land, water, and all living beings. We are committed to fostering a relationship of care, reciprocity, and responsibility with the ecosystems that sustain us.

We believe that collective joy requires justice. This means we consider and engage with issues of collective liberation, safety, care, identity, ecology, equity, power, inclusion, and accessibility—both physical and financial. We also hold space for ancestry, climate justice, neurodiversity, introversion, extroversion, and the impact of systemic oppressions, including many of the -isms that shape our world.

We are not experts in any of these areas, but we are committed to learning. Our goal is to continuously cultivate a culture of radical welcome and belonging, where people can show up as they are, knowing they matter.
