Purposeful Programs for Adults and Youth who are or could be in conflict with the law

St. Leonard’s is proudly accredited by the Canadian Centre for Accreditation.

Our accreditation covers organizational standards, community-based support and social services, and youth justice and ensures that our clients, participants, and partners are receiving the best services possible. St. Leonard’s is demonstrating our accountability to our community and our commitment to providing the highest quality programs and services.

Out of deep respect for Indigenous peoples of Canada, St. Leonard’s recognizes that its work, and the work of its community partners, takes place on traditional Indigenous territories across our region and geography.  The sacred land on which we deliver service has been a site of human activity for thousands of years, and Indigenous peoples have been stewards of these lands, sharing the natural resources and harvesting only what was needed for their sustenance.

We acknowledge that the lands we call home are the traditional lands and waters of the Anishinaabe, Attawandaron, Haudenosaunee, and the Lenape peoples.  Today, this place is still home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work in the community, on this territory.  There are longstanding relationships with the three local First Nations groups of this land.  These communities include Chippewa of the Thames First Nation, Oneida Nation of the Thames, and Munsee Delaware Nation.

We are committed to working towards reconciliation and to supporting the recommendations of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission.  This will involve listening to, learning from, and working in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Métis people. We are fully committed to taking action to ensure that Indigenous peoples feel welcomed, respected and enabled to thrive within our programs and services and as employees within our agency.
