Honouring the land and Indigenous peoples

At the Workers’ Compensation Board of Nova Scotia, we acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the traditional unceded and current territory of the Mi’kmaq. We are all treaty people who benefit greatly from the shared resources of this land, covered by the treaties of Peace and Friendship.

As the province’s provider of workplace injury insurance, we are grateful to work on this land. We are committed to building trusted relationships with Indigenous peoples — to learn about their community, to better understand their history from their perspectives, and to help us provide exceptional service to all Nova Scotians, as we work toward reconciliation and equity within our community.
