Territorial Acknowledgement

NAPRA primarily works from Ottawa, which is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation. The peoples of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation have lived on this territory for millennia. Their culture and presence have nurtured and continue to nurture this land. We honour the peoples and land of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation and strive to stand in solidarity and reconciliation with them. As the alliance of the provincial and territorial pharmacy regulatory authorities across Canada as well as the Canadian Forces Health Services, we acknowledge the ancestral and unceded territory from coast to coast to coast of all Inuit, Métis, and First Nations peoples that call this land home. We honour them and their past and present stewardship of this land.
