Staff and volunteers of Lisaard & Innisfree Hospice acknowledge our presence as guests on the land where our hospices are located. We are grateful to work on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabeg (Ah-nish-nah-bay), Haudenosaunee (Ho-deh-no-show-nee), and Attawandaron (Add-a-won-da-run) who have been living and working on this land since time immemorial.
Acknowledging the land is an expression of our gratitude and recognizes the gifts and beauty of Indigenous Peoples. As an organization, we are active participants towards reconciliation by educating our staff and volunteers about the harms that Indigenous Peoples continue to experience.
Through the engagement of meaningful partnerships with Indigenous communities, Lisaard & Innisfree Hospice is developing programs and services which respect and honour the traditions of Indigenous Peoples.
Lisaard & Innisfree Hospice is Waterloo Region’s first and largest hospice residence, providing exceptional palliative care in a home-like setting for individuals living with - and dying from - a terminal illness
