THE TRELLIS COMMITMENT

Support that Grows With you for Generations

Trellis is changing what support looks like. Our One Door approach ensures people can access what they need without navigating confusing systems. We disrupt the barriers that hold people back and open new paths to stability, belonging and opportunity so people can flourish across generations.

Acknowledging the Land

Our commitment to reconciliation starts by acknowledging that Trellis Society is honoured to serve in the traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy, home to the Siksika, the North and South Piikani, and the Kainai Nations. We also acknowledge the Tsuut’ina, Ĩyãħé Nakoda (the Chiniki, Bearspaw and Goodstoney Nations), and the Otipemisiwak Métis Government of the Métis Nation (Districts 4, 5 and 6).

Finally, we acknowledge all nations, genders and spirits who live, work and play in Treaty 7 territory. We are all Treaty People and being here comes with the responsibility to care for this land out of respect for each other and hope for the future generations to come.
