Land Acknowledgement

Busch Systems’ office and warehouses operate on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg people (including the Odawa, Ojibwe/Chippewa, and Pottawatomi Nations, collectively known as the Three Fires Confederacy). The Anishnaabeg nations located in this area are the descendants of the three nations once situated on the Coldwater-Narrows reserve, now known as the Chippewa Tri-Council. This land is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, and we are grateful to be here.

We share this acknowledgement knowing we still have a lot of learning to do and welcome your support to grow, learn and educate ourselves together.
