LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Head Office of the Mental Health Commission of Canada is located on the unceded, traditional Territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation in what is now called Ottawa, Ontario.

We acknowledge that for thousands of years, the Algonquin People protected these lands, the Ottawa River Watershed, and its tributaries.

As a national organization, we also acknowledge that we work on the traditional lands of many different nations.

Today, a path to truth and reconciliation begins with recognizing both the stewardship and the sacrifices of the original peoples.

We are committed to recognizing the errors of the past, acknowledging the challenges of the present, and contributing to a new and equitable relationship with the First Peoples.

ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND

The Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) is a non-profit organization created to focus national attention on mental health issues and to work to improve the health and social outcomes of people living with mental illness.

The Commission is seen as a leader nationally and internationally in several areas.

Building upon the work done to date, the core mandate, and the unique position of the Commission, and guided by Changing Directions, Changing Lives:

The Mental Health Strategy for Canada, the Commission will focus on work in four key areas: substance use, suicide prevention, population-based initiatives, and engagement.

This prioritization will enable the Commission to meet its mandate and have a measurable impact on those living with mental illness and their families and caregivers.

Vaccination remains the most effective tool to reduce the risk of COVID-19.

The MHCC is committed to ensuring the health and safety of our employees in the workplace, and therefore requires proof of full vaccination for all of our employees unless a valid accommodation under legislation exists.
