The Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers operates on the original land of a vast diversity of Indigenous Peoples, much of which has been and still is occupied by settlers. We are privileged to have the College’s office located in Toronto, on the “Dish With One Spoon Wampum Territory” - a treaty between the Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee peoples that binds them to share the area and protect the land in the spirit of community.
