Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge and respect that the Newcomer Youth Employment Toolkit was written in Mi’kmaw’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This toolkit is for use by newcomers to the traditional territory of the Mi’kmaq, Wolastoqey First Nations, and Peskotomuhkati Nation at Skutik, Beothuk, and Innu. We are thankful for having the opportunity to work in their territory, and we engage ourselves in learning about our shared history and taking part in the process of reconciliation.
To learn more about the important and urgent work of reconciliation on Turtle Island (North America), read the 94 calls to action as outlined by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. We are all treaty people.

Our Partners
This toolkit was developed with input from an advisory group made up of settlement staff from across the Atlantic provinces and is for use across the region, mainly in schools for youth looking for employment information. We are grateful for our partnerships and look forward to continuing to work together towards a bright future.
