Land Acknowledgement

The College of Naturopaths of Ontario acknowledges with respect that our office is located on the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the traditional territories of the Huron-Wendat and the Haudenosaunee. The College regulates Naturopathic Doctors across the province of Ontario who operate clinics and run practices on the traditional territory and treaty lands of many First Nation peoples. These lands are now home to many diverse Indigenous Peoples, Inuit, and Métis peoples.

We recognize our responsibility to each other and to this land, committing ourselves to act in a spirit of peace, friendship, and respect. This acknowledgement reaffirms our commitment to building stronger relationships with Indigenous communities and enhancing our understanding of local Indigenous peoples and their cultures.

As regulators of naturopathic doctors in Ontario, we are dedicated to serving and protecting the public interest and supporting access to safe, competent, and ethical care for Ontarians who choose to access naturopathic care.

We express our gratitude for the opportunity to live and work on these territories and acknowledge the enduring presence and contributions of Indigenous peoples to this land.
