In 2022, we moved into our new office at 715 Fischer-Hallman Road. As another way to further the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Actions for newcomers to Canada, we named the meeting rooms in our new space after the Indigenous nations of this territory.

In collaboration with a local Haudenosaunee educator, the rooms were named: Tuscarora, Wyandot, Seneca, Oneida, Onondaga, Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, Cayuga, Mohawk, and Mississauga.

We chose Indigenous names in recognition of the importance for newcomers (and settlers who have been here for many generations) to engage with the “truth” that is necessary before reconciliation. We are hoping to encourage our clients, staff, partners, and any visitors to our office to have discussions and ask questions so that we can continue the dialogue and education around history, current issues, and the responsibility to uphold good relations with the Indigenous people of this territory.
