Values

✷ 

Inclusion & Community

R&S embraces the spirit of inclusivity and community. We strive to be a welcoming space for everyone while fostering a culture of respect for each other and the environment.

✷ 

Respect

We recognize that we are operating on traditional Indigenous land within the Robinson Huron Treaty territory. We respect the cultures and peoples of the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek, Nipissing First Nation, Temagami First Nation, Wahnapitae First Nation, and Dokis First Nation. We recognize and respect the Aaniishinaabe peoples’ sacred relationship with the land and water. River & Sky will continuously work to listen and learn from the shared wisdom of Indigenous peoples.

Sustainability

We are dedicated to maintaining and celebrating our natural environment, a key element of our programming – while mindfully trying to find new ways to reduce our carbon footprint.
