Save Your Skin Foundation (SYSF) respectfully recognizes and acknowledges the relationship that the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis across Canada have with the land that our staff, patient and caregiver community, and medical advisors live on and enjoy. These lands are either subject to First Nations self-government under modern treaty, unceded and un-surrendered territories, or traditional territories from which First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples have been violently displaced.
