Willowdale confirms our commitment to offer our experiences and resources to every person and family. We celebrate diversity, honor equity and welcome everyone. We do not claim to be experts on diversity and surely do not always say the right thing but we are committed to continuous learning and open conversation to actively strive to know more than we did yesterday.

​

We are grateful to Indigenous Peoples for we live, explore and play unceded land they have stewarded for generations. Our experiences take place on N’dakinna, which is the traditional ancestral and unceded, homeland of the Abenaki, Pennacook and Wabanaki Peoples past and present. We acknowledge and honor with gratitude the land and waterways and the alnobak who have stewarded N’dakinna throughout the generations. Their present is not our history; we walk, work and wonder together. We commit to celebrating and including Indigenous Peoples where we live and thank them for caring for the unceded land we explore.
