Who should attend?
Traditional Land Acknowledgement
The Best Start 2019 Conference is located on the historical territory of the Wendat, Petun, Seneca and, most recently, the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nations. This territory is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Haudenosaunee and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the lands and resources around the Great Lakes. Today, the GTA is the home of many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to host our 2019 Conference in this territory.
