Life Strategies has always been a remote workplace with staff and associates working across a wide variety of traditional, ancestral, unceded, and occupied Indigenous Lands. We want to take a moment to acknowledge the territory we are currently working from and to thank the Nation(s)for allowing us to live, work, and play on their traditional lands; we invite you to do the same. If you are connecting from Canada, visit Native-Land.ca to learn more about and reflect upon the lands you are joining us from.
