Land Acknowledgement

Juno College of Technology would like to acknowledge the sacred land on which we operate, which has been a site of human activity for thousands of years.

Toronto comes from the Kanien'kéha word Tkaranto, which can be translated as "where the trees stand in water." It is part of the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples, and is also now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples.

Juno strives to recognize and respect this land by sharing our space with all people — those indigenous to the land, and those from all over the world. This is only one step towards reconciliation. We recognize that we must do more to learn about the history and ongoing harmful impacts of colonialism, so that we can better understand our roles in the community.

In August 2021, Juno worked with Empowered on an Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion assessment and action plan. We are committed to taking meaningful action to uplift and support Indigenous communities, such as working towards increasing the presence of Indigenous people in our classrooms and team, partnering with and/or supporting Indigenous organizations, and constantly improving our processes to deepen inclusion.
