We are thankful to be welcome on these lands in friendship. The lands we are situated on are covered by the Williams Treaties and are the traditional territory of the Mississaugas, a branch of the greater Anishinaabeg Nation, including Algonquin, Ojibway, Odawa and Pottawatomi. These lands remain home to many Indigenous nations and peoples.

We acknowledge this land out of respect for the Indigenous nations who have cared for Turtle Island, also called North America, from before the arrival of settler peoples until this day. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the history of these lands has been tainted by poor treatment and a lack of friendship with the First Nations who call them home.

This history is something we are all affected by because we are all treaty people in Canada. We all have a shared history to reflect on, and each of us is affected by this history in different ways. Our past defines our present, but if we move forward as friends and allies, then it does not have to define our future.

Poster Day

In addition to completing your 100-hour practicum placement, you will also present your experience at our annual Poster Day. Each year, Practicum students present their academic posters before a diverse range of community partners, university faculty and staff, and fellow students. This event is used to summarize your findings, observations and field experiences.

“The poster experience challenges students to engage the workplace, say something new and back up their opinions in everyday language. We’ve had hundreds of success stories over the years. Students learn how to develop their ‘elevator pitch’, which demonstrates their awareness of the issues, prepares them for interviews and shows prospective employing organizations that they are ready to lead.”
