Land Acknowledgement

Provincial Women’s Softball Association activities take place on the traditional Indigenous territories across the province we now call Ontario, and we are thankful to be able to play our sport and live on this land.

We believe it is important to offer a land acknowledgement as a way to recognize, respect and honour this territory, the treaties, the original occupants, their ancestors, and the historic connection they still have with this territory.

As part of our commitment to reconciliation, we are providing educational opportunities to help our executive and volunteers learn more about our shared history and the harms that have been inflicted on Indigenous peoples. We are working to establish mutually respectful relationships with Indigenous people across the province and will continue to incorporate recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission into our sport. We are grateful for the opportunity to work across Turtle Island.
