Inspiring Entrepreneurship

We recognize that the land on which Enterprise Renfrew County is situated is the traditional, unceded, and unsurrendered territory of the Omàmiwininì (Algonquin) People. We also recognize the enduring presence of all First Nation, Métis and Inuit peoples on the land on which we gather. We express our gratitude to have the opportunity to be present in this territory here today to learn, thrive, and grow together.

We are called to treat this land, its waterways, plants, animals, stories and Peoples with honour and respect. We are committed to reconciliation and incorporate the Seven Grandfather Teachings of love, respect, bravery, truth, honesty, humility and wisdom into our daily lives.
