the 4th space

The 4th Space operates on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabe, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. Toronto, or Tkaronto, is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. We acknowledge that this land is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit and is part of the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between Indigenous nations to share and care for the land, its waters, and its resources in harmony.

At The 4th Space, we reflect on what it means to inhabit this land and commit to engaging in practices that honour its original stewards. We strive to learn, unlearn, and take actionable steps toward reconciliation while remaining mindful of the ongoing impacts of colonization. This acknowledgment is just one small part of our larger responsibility to support healing, justice, and equity in the communities we serve.
