Shelter Movers operates across Turtle Island in communities spanning from Coast Salish territory in the West to Mi'kmaq territory in the East. We acknowledge that Indigenous peoples have been the traditional guardians of Turtle Island, also known as Canada, for thousands of years. We recognize their long standing and ongoing relationship with this territory, which includes unceded and traditional land, and acknowledge our duty to invest in reconciliation and decolonization efforts. We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land and are committed to confronting the discriminatory and racist colonial practices that have had a lasting legacy and continue to create barriers for Indigenous peoples in our communities across the country.
