LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The Canadian Co-infection Cohort (CCC) acknowledges that Indigenous peoples are the traditional guardians of this land we call Canada.
The CCC Coordinating Center is situated on the traditional territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka Nation. Tiohtià:ke/Montréal is historically known as a gathering place for many First Nations. Today, it is home to a diverse population of Indigenous and other peoples.
