Land acknowledgement
Growclass is a remote company, founded and headquartered on Treaty 13 Territory, the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee and the Wendat peoples. Additionally, the Growclass team is spread across Turtle Island, and is grateful to work and live on the following traditional lands:
The traditional and unceded territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples.
Treaty 4 Territory, the traditional land of the Nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, Dakota, Lakota and Nakoda, and the homeland of the Métis/Michif Nation.
The traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien'kehà:ka (Mohawk) peoples.
We pay respect to the Indigenous Peoples who have lived and continue to live on these traditional lands and whose culture, practices and spirituality are tied to this land. We acknowledge our settler ancestry, our roles in colonization, the harms and mistakes of the past, and we are committed to moving forward in partnership with Indigenous Peoples in the spirit of reconciliation and collaboration.
As we set out to further expand our own anti-racist education and better understand the impact of our settler ancestry, we are specifically focused on decolonizing our business practices and teachings by contributing to Call to Action 92. In addition to educating our team members and consulting with our Indigenous partners, we pledge 50k in annual scholarships for Indigenous Canadians to ensure they have equitable access to jobs, training, and education opportunities in the corporate sector. Scholarship applications are available here.
