Our work is inherently tied to the land and the geographical region where we live, work and play.

As settlers, we're grateful for the opportunity to work with communities and in the agriculture and agri-food sector and we thank all the generations of people who have taken care of this land - for thousands of years. Our office is located in Fergus, Ontario and resides on the traditional territory of ‎ the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Fergus is on the Haldimand Tract, the land promised to the Six Nations that includes ten kilometres on each side of the Grand River. Today, many First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples live and work in Wellington County. 

We recognize that this land acknowledgement is but the first step towards Truth, Reconciliation and a respectful path forward.
