Serving Co-ops in the Golden Horseshoe Region

Since 1986

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that the land on which the federation serves is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee, Anishinaabe, Metis, and Ojibway/Chippewa peoples.

This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the ’’Dish With One Spoon Wampum” agreement. It is also known as Region nine (9) of the Metis Nation of Ontario.

Today this gathering place continues to be home for First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples and this acknowledgement reminds us that our standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous peoples.
