safe spaces

Outdoor ice skating is a great way to enjoy the season with family and friends, or solo. We aspire to create a safe space where everyone can participate, including people who have historically felt unsafe in public spaces, such as Black, Indigenous, and racialized people, Muslims, 2SLGBTQ+ people, and people living with a disability. We all deserve to feel safe in public places.
Land Acknowledgement
The Mill Courtland Community Centre is situated on the traditional territory of Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee and Neutral Peoples. We recognize our responsibility to serve as stewards for the land and honour the original caretakers who came before us. Our community is enriched by the enduring knowledge and deep-rooted traditions of the diverse First Nations, Metis and Inuit PEOPLE in the neighbourhoods of Mill-Courtland and Highland-Stirling.
 
 
Statement of Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity

We do this through internal training on anti-racism and anti-hate, through partnerships with organizations that represent marginalized populations, and through the active recruitment of members of marginalized populations for leadership positions.
