In keeping with the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Statement included in our ByLaws (I.4), we commit to fostering an inclusive environment that is receptive to diverse experiences, perspectives, and interests, where all individuals are treated fairly, and with dignity and respect. We commit to challenging systems of oppression with anti-oppression principles and seek to cultivate broad and meaningful representation of and engagement with equity- deserving groups.
The Seasoned Spoon is located in Nogojiwanong (Peterborough ON). We recognize that this is the traditional territory and ongoing treaty lands of the Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg including the First Nations of Alderville, Hiawatha, Scugog Island, and Curve Lake, the Métis of Burleigh Falls, as well as the Chippewas of Beausoleil, Georgina Island, and Rama, all of whom are collectively known as the Williams Treaties First Nations. As we work to grow a regional food system that is regenerative, inclusive, and just, we also endeavour to learn about the impacts of settler colonialism on these lands and work toward cooperation with Indigenous Peoples. We offer our gratitude to the First Peoples for their care for, and teachings about Mother Earth and All Our Relations. We strive to honour the principles of respect, reciprocity, relationality, responsibility, and restoration as we carry out our purpose as an organization.
