Truth and Reconciliation

Iron North acknowledges that our studio, located in Ottawa, is on the un-ceded, un-surrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation.

September 30th is a day for Canadians to learn and reflect on our nation's painful history. It is a day to listen to indigenous voices and take further steps to contribute toward reconciliation within our studio doors, homes, and communities.

We have closed classes to encourage our guests to use their time for reconciliation. On September 30th, please pause and reflect on what we can do individually and collectively as people on treaty land. We ask our community to listen and learn throughout the day, and to continue this work toward reconciliation this Friday and throughout the year.

We encourage our community to take action to contribute toward the rights, health, safety, land access and equity of indigenous populations.

 

We've put together a list a non-exhaustive list of ways in which you can contribute toward reconciliation.
