1125 Colonel By Dr, Ottawa, ON

The OE3C 2025 Organizing Committee and Carleton University acknowledge that the land on which we work and study is the traditional, unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation. We acknowledge the deep and meaningful traditions of knowledge, law, society, nature, and philosophy of the Indigenous peoples of this land. We recognize the historical and ongoing injustices that Indigenous people endure across Canada and affirm our commitment to honour and uplift Indigenous voices, traditions, and cultures for the future of reconciliation.
