Land Acknowledgement
Project Abraham works in different communities across Ontario including York Region, Toronto and London. While each of these areas has different treaty territories, since many of our clients live in York region, Project Abraham acknowledges that we work on the traditional territory of many nations including the Huron-Wendat First Nation, the Haudenosaunee and the Anishinaabe peoples.
