We  would like to acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.

For Immediate Release:

The AFP Nova Scotia Chapter Board of Directors would like to express our concern with the AFP Greater Toronto Chapter (GTC) over the harm and racism voiced by our colleagues, detailed in articles, open letters, and podcasts. 

We encourage you to read our official statement and participate in the conversation:
