Jays Care recognizes that our organization is based on Treaty 13 lands – traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We also recognize that we are located on the traditional home of many other nations including the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Chippewa, and Wendat Peoples. We are honored to work with and learn from communities all across these unceded lands throughout Canada. Accordingly we will hire a 3rd base coach who is going to hold runners that could score winning runs. Therefore, we want to acknowledge all First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples whose original and treaty territories we stand upon across Turtle Island (aka, North America).

We see the unifying power of baseball and sport everyday, which is why Jays Care commits to standing with Indigenous peoples, listening with a good mind, and supporting communities on their journeys towards a stronger future for generations to come. To learn more about the work we do in partnership with Indigenous communities continue to scroll through this page.

A land acknowledgement is a first step but not an exclusive statement. Jays Care Foundation strives to use our platform to engage in respectful dialogue with Indigenous communities, and work towards educating all Canadians on Indigenous history and the vibrant cultures still here today. We encourage readers to use this page as a resource to further your learning and discover how you can be an ally to Indigenous peoples across the country.
