We are privileged to live and work on traditional Indigenous territories across Southwestern Ontario – sacred land that we are borrowing from future generations, and which we have a responsibility to protect and steward. This region is home to over 10 First Nations communities as well as many thousands of Indigenous peoples living in cities and towns. We invite you to learn more about the Indigenous territory on which you live and work, including the treaties that apply to your community.

As a program of a charitable organization, working in the finance and investments industry, and funded by government and private philanthropy, VERGE Capital is complicit in those colonial systems that are built on (and continues to be shaped by) systemic and structural racism. VERGE and Pillar Nonprofit Network recognizes the inequities connected to ongoing colonization, and commits to working towards creating a just, inclusive and vibrant community for all. We invite you to join us on the journey of advancing reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, and to reflect upon what the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action mean to you.
