SOFEA Inc. Land Acknowledgement

​

We take time to acknowledge that in the beginning, God, the Creator and author of life, made the heavens and the earth and everything in it.

​

We acknowledge, as a duly registered group of Filipino-Canadians, that we are settlers here on Treaty 1 Territory. We are blessed to live and honoured to work on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabe, Ininewak, and Dakota peoples, and on the national homeland of the Red River Métis.

​

As a community of vibrant and resilient Filipino and Filipino-Canadian employees, we aspire to contribute positively to the promotion and practice of just and respectful relations with the wider community, while maintaining and celebrating our own cultural values and traditions.

​

We exist to engage and empower individuals through education and community volunteerism. We remain committed to maintaining harmonious relationships with the Indigenous peoples of this land, in the spirit of reconciliation, reciprocity, and resurgence.

​

Today and every day, we will strive to uphold our core values and mission-vision, and to be generous in sharing our time, talent, and treasure in the pursuit of a good life—mabuting buhay—for all.

​

​

Maraming salamat po. Thank you very much.
