Orange Banner, Candle & Shoes- Every Child Matters



The Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority recognizes the essential connection of land and water stewardship to the traditional and historical knowledge of Indigenous peoples. The importance of the relationships between the shared watershed and its inhabitants is clearer than ever before. We are thankful for the support and friendship of Indigenous partnerships, and acknowledge that as an organization there is much work to do towards Truth and Reconciliation.

The NPCA pledges the following actions;

  • Addressing diversity and inclusivity in our workplace policies, and ensuring the Indigenous community has a voice in decision making through representation on the NPCA Public Advisory Committee will continue to be a priority.
  • Affirmed commitment to meaningful engagement with Indigenous peoples. The NPCA will continue to advance this through the development of engagement guidelines for shared stewardship through the 2021-2031 Strategic Plan and day-to-day actions.
  • Commitment to providing training to our staff to better understand Indigenous culture, their history, and the impact they have had on our current lives and shared watershed lands.
